The job, the man, the boss
A 1914 business advice book by Katherine Melvina Blackford and Arthur Newcomb, published by Doubleday, Page & company in Garden City, New York, aimed at employers and managers choosing staff. Its pictures are halftone studio portraits of men in dark suits, shown in three-quarter, profile and oval-framed views against plain dark or grey backdrops, useful to a designer wanting period male portrait styling and tonal contrast.
