This 1908 photograph depicts Nathan B. Stubblefield along with the
wireless telephone of his own invention. Fortunatly phones did get a bit smaller. This is not a cell phone of course, just a radio phone.
A British Sten Gun Girl, around 950,000 British women worked in munitions factories during the Second World War, making weapons like shells and bullets. Munitions work was often well-paid but involved long hours, sometimes up to seven days a week. Workers were also at serious risk from accidents with dangerous machinery or when working with highly explosive material.
Bozeman, Montana was incorporated in 1883, nearly two decades after John M. Bozeman founded it as the terminus of his self-named offshoot of the Oregon Trail west of Fort Laramie to Virginia City and the goldfields of Montana. Photo of Bozeman, Montana Territory, c. 1880s.
An early photo of one of the tiny cubicles in the lupanar brothel at Pompeii. The base of the bed was stone and we assume pillows blankets etc covered the hard surface. Erotic images were painted on the walls probably for both visual purposes and for what services might be available in that room, particularly if the slave sex worker did not speak Latin/Greek. This room is smaller than a modern day prison isolation cell, so due to the huge amount of rooms making money for the owner as slaves were not paid, this made running or owning a brothel a very lucrative prospect indeed.
