Back Page - The Office

A fellow abandoned-photograph-rescuer over at ONE MAN’S TREASURE wrote and posted a fine page about the look of the office in old photographs, illustrated of course with found photographs of office environments with a man at a desk.

A fine idea for a category! I looked through the Lost Gallery collection for things related to work and the office and stacked up a few examples. Since I don’t have as many fine examples of just a man sitting at a desk, I expanded the category to include office equipment and paperwork.

And here are a few with just a typewriter showing but not really an office setting.

Most of these appeared also on a page back in 2010 I called
THE TYPEWRITER - A MODERN ANTIQUE

The Typewriter - A Modern Antique

A Typewriter. Now THERE'S an antique.

Along came the word processor and suddenly the typewriter was extinct.

A true antique.	Oops.
	I know it's odd. I decided to do a page of found photographs that contain a typewriter. Most of them I found in two sets. The top three came from "In the South of England". It is a large file of 35mm negatives I found in a junk store. They turned out to be all about Bassingbourn Air Base during world war two. The square format color prints came from an interesting set I purchased from an estate sale that seems to be about a teacher and his friends. I called it "Dee and the Business School"
This is a single one that was not in a group.
	This one is from a negative that was found by itself.
