Kontors-Utställning. ca. 1897.
Old habits die hard, but this stately man appears ready to ditch the old quill in favor of a shiny new typewriter. This image announces the exhibition of office goods at Stockholm's Industrial Palace. Opened in 1888 as a circus, the venue was fashioned with Oriental details and held 2,700 spectator seats. From 1893 to 1897, the building served as an exhibition hall for trading companies and new inventions. In 1900, it changed course again to serve as a theatre, but in 1913, careless smokers led to its final demise.
