The composing department for "The Woman's National Daily" was located at one end of the great hall and press room of the Woman's National Daily Building. Four of the department's linotype machines are on the right. This photograph was probably taken in late 1906 or early 1907. Construction scaffolding is still in place on the right, and the columns and walls have not been painted in the Egyptian motif that would be a major attraction later. | |
The composing department for "The Woman's National Daily" was located at one end of the great hall and press room of the Woman's National Daily Building. Some of the department's linotype machines are at the rear. Operators using these machines cast the type. The lines of type were made up into pages in "forms" and sent to the stereotype room on the lower level of the building. This photograph was probably taken about 1908. The columns and walls have been painted in the striking Egyptian motif that was a major attraction in the building. |
