one of those 'courageous women of the 1910s. it's really a brilliant 'handicapped'. great photo!

Awesome Vintage*~*

Would be a great history lesson to compare the workspace here. In the 1960 I worked in a setup much like this.

Un pequeño lente para observar los impresioantes avances del siglo XX

• English. The picture shows a working woman. Considering her blindness, one thinks life was not fair with her. But all of us are in one sense or another limited beings. If looking at this picture, Ortega y Gasset may have said that that she lacking of is precisely what supports her. The photograph may not show a famous person, but it shows a working one—somebody that went beyond natural injustice and apparently transcended it too. • Castellano rioplatense. Con los auriculares puestos, esta taquígrafa ciega de principios del siglo XX fue fotografiada mientras trabajaba. Al considerar su ceguera, uno piensa que la vida no fue justa con ella. Pero, de alguna manera u otra, todos somos seres limitados. Importante es lo que hacemos con lo que la vida sí nos dio. Lo que nos falta es lo que nos sostiene, decía Ortega y Gasset. Esta foto acaso no muestre un ser famoso, pero muestra una taquígrafa ciega en plena labor. La imagen sugiere que ella, a la Naturaleza, la trascendió.

this is all SO very cool!!

It looks like they're weaving rugs and coverlets on jack looms.

This is indeed awesome...like peering back through a time machine.
