Speculation on a Found Photograph Pinup in the Office and Starting Anew
An anonymous boss seemingly creates a less than harassment-free work environment in this found photograph snapshot. Let's examine it!
If I am not mistaken, the year on the pin-up calendar is 1945. Squint. Odd that the calendar has been placed OVER another poster, unless you consider it was the end of World War Two. One way to celebrate the start of a fresh, war-free year? Cover up the World War Two propaganda. Then roll up your sleeves and get back to work. Maybe this photo shows two "Rosie Riviters" out of dungarees and back to work at the office.
Not speculation, but old fashioned pin-up gawking reveals another tidbit. The dame with nice gams was rendered by painter Rolf Armstrong, I believe.
