Accountant - The- Bookkeeping dept 1902 Poster

Colourized photo from 1902 Original Title: Cashier cage, Richmond Backus Location: Detroit Michigan Accountants hard at work, it could be tax season, maybe they have to organise the books, in any case, they are very busy. Everything is done by hand using pencils and pens. You'll see no calculators or computers in this office, no siree, I bet they never even have heard of such a thing. It seems there is a certain dress code to work here though. Women must wear floor length dresses. And men must be able to hold a pencil behind their ear, while rocking a big bushy moustache.
