[Taking dictation in a Security Building office]

Photographer unknown

A man and woman are seated at a large desk in a small, simply furnished office. There is a wool rug in a geometric pattern on the floor. The only furniture in the office are a desk and three chairs. A small chandelier hangs over the desk. There is one narrow window with a roller shade. There are two bars across the window. The upper floor of a light-colored building is visible through the window. The woman, dressed in a white blouse and long dark skirt, is facing the man, who is dressed in a dark suit, and appears to be reading a document with multiple pages. A stenographer’s notebook is open on the desk next to the woman. She is holding a pencil and appears to be taking dictation. The number “64” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number is written in the upper left corner.
