Sunday Postcard Art - Old Office

This week’s theme for Sunday Postcard Art  is Old Office - what a fun theme!  

I chose to use some images and typing exercises from an old typing book that I mostly use for gelli prints.

This guy is referred to as a “champion typist” in the book.  I wonder if there is still such a competition?

When I learned to type many years ago we used a book much like this.  I can remember in high school typing to music and everyone hitting the carriage return at the same time - ding!  When I went to “secretarial school” (yes there was such a thing!) we started on an old manual typewriter and had to achieve a certain typing speed before we could graduate to using an electric typewriter.  Of course there were no computers!  

Thanks so much for joining me today.

Wow, Cindy. That is amazing and shows how much technology has changed in the past few years. I love this image and words from the textbook you used to create this fun postcard.
