Photographic postcard of a man and two women seated at partners desk

  • BobMeade said:
    They are, of course, sitting at a partners desk. The lady at left appears to be taking dictation, possibly in shorthand. The size of the notepad she is using is consistent with a stenographer's notepad or shorthand notepad.

    Thanks BobMeade! Records updated :)

    Wow.......
  • Paul Messerschmidt said:
    There is a Spanish surname "Reales" - could it maybe be that?

    Paul Messerschmidt Thanks Paul! She does look like she could be Spanish...
  • Zedexarh said:
    She reminds me of my old grannie, who was a young woman in the 1930s, very beautiful
  • Paul Messerschmidt said:
    Could the writing at the top of the photo just be the photographer's data - his reference number for the photo, his (male) client's name, and then is the last word just "small" - the size of the print ordered?
    (All pure speculation, of course.)
