George Brumder at Work
| George Brumder, in a three-piece suit and wearing pince-nez eyeglasses, is sitting in a swivel chair at a roll top desk. His unidentified secretary is sitting near him in a bentwood chair, reading a note. There are file cabinets along the wall on the right, and a transitional lamp, fitted for both gas and electricity, is over the desk. A speaking tube is hanging on the wall behind Brumder, next to a large calendar. The far wall has interior windows and a door with detailed woodwork. |
