As we delve into history through this image, it is important to appreciate how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. While modern calculators have surpassed their predecessors in terms of speed and efficiency, it is fascinating to witness where it all began. Ken Welsh's skillful preservation allows us to explore our past through visual storytelling. This print invites us on a journey back in time when machines like these were considered cutting-edge technology – reminding us that progress is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before us.
