EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 20th century with this print of a typewriting class at Hammersmith Commercial Institute, London, in 1913. The image showcases both male and female students, donned in their outdoor wear including coats and hats, eagerly participating in the class. A diligent teacher can be seen supervising the session. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when typewriting was a vital skill for those seeking employment or furthering their education. The Hammersmith Commercial Institute served as an educational institution under the Greater London Council (GLC) and London County Council (LCC), providing valuable training opportunities for aspiring professionals. The scene is set on William Street, amidst bustling lanes and roads of Hammersmith. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this timeless moment frozen in history. As we observe the determined faces of both men and women engrossed in their typewriter tasks, it becomes evident that gender equality was already making strides within educational settings. Thanks to the Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this remarkable snapshot has been preserved for generations to appreciate. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while honoring the dedication shown by these students towards mastering an essential skillset.
