The Last Days of Censorship : Prisoners of War Mails
Alexander Joshua Caleb Bryce 1868 - 1940
Summary
Interior scene of a censor's office during World War II. Rows of female workers sit at desks, sorting through prisoners' of war post. Sacks of mail are piled around desks, waiting to be searched; the room is full of paper - scattered on the floor, over desktops and in waste paper bins. A man is visible to the far left, looking over two women at work. The room is dark with tall windows to the right and a glass screen at the back of the office.
