Honoring the machine & its history at a Venice art gallery.

The mighty machine looks good in any form.

Here it is in a painting — shown at  “C.A.V.E GALLERY”, in Venice.

A friend of mine who knows my predilection  was out & about this weekend and sent this to me.

I have to admit, I get a shiver of pleasure every time I see the typewriter given its due.  This is a particularly handsome specimen.

Every picture, every icon has the chance to make one more person hopefully come to recognize what a workhorse these machines have been — and continue to be.

From Wikipedia:

Remington Rand (1927–1955) was an early American business machines manufacturer, best known originally as a typewriter manufacturer and in a later incarnation as the manufacturer of the UNIVAC line of mainframe computer. It split off from its parent company, Remington Arms, in the early twentieth century. Remington Rand was a diversified conglomerate making other office equipment, electric shavers, etc. The Remington Rand Building at 315 Park Avenue South in New York City is a 20-floor skyscraper… completed in 1911.^[1]
