Taking Dictation in the Shower, 1922 (Harris & Ewing). It was 100 degrees in the shade, so stenographer Margerite Newman took the boss's letters in a bathing suit under a cooling shower.

The story behind the photo · No. 228

Dictation, under the shower

Washington was at a hundred degrees in the shade, and the office did not stop. Stenographer Margerite Newman took the boss’s letters in a bathing suit, standing under a cooling shower, and Harris & Ewing sent a photographer. The papers ran it because the heat was the news and the joke was obvious. Nobody staged a metaphor. A woman did the job in the only place the room was bearable, and the camera arrived in time to prove it. The print ships with that sentence, not a slogan.
