(Women's Employment), World War I

Original Photo

(Women's Employment). [Photograph]: Original Vintage Gelatin silver print Photograph of Women Civil Servants, 1918. Black and white photograph showing a room of over one hundred women seated at crowded desks and tables, reading and sifting through piles of letters. 6 x 8 in. Press photo with many handwritten pencil inscriptions in English and Swedish, and two stamps. One inscription on center back reads: “The work of the postal censorship… The room where letters to + from German prisoners of war are examined”. Another line reads: “Engleska postcensuren 1918” or “English postal censorship 1918” in Swedish. Overall good condition with light, scattered creasing, but a crisp and clear image. An interesting image that shows an one unique way that women’s labor and intellectual skills were important to support the war effort of World War I.
