EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a typewriting class at the Bow and Bromley Commercial Institute in London, 1924. The image takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century England, where education was highly valued. In this evening class, women can be seen diligently typing away on their typewriters, showcasing their determination to acquire valuable skills. The location of Malmesbury Road sets the scene for this educational institution nestled within the vibrant cityscape of Tower Hamlets. The photograph emanates an air of sophistication as these ladies engage in their studies under the watchful eye of an unknown instructor. Preserved by the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a time when typewriting was considered an essential skill for aspiring professionals. It also hints at societal progress as women actively participate in higher education during an era marked by changing gender roles. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, it's impossible not to appreciate how far we have come since then. This image serves as a reminder of our collective journey towards equality and highlights the importance of preserving historical moments that shaped our present-day society.
