This photograph was taken by Howard R. Hollem or Alfred T. Palmer for the Office of War Information. It is in the "Farm Security Administration / Office of War Information Black and White Negatives" collection of the Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division . It is in the public domain (as are the versions of it here).
The thumbnail version is linked-to is a full resolution PNG that I have created from the original TIFF downloaded from the L of C. Regrettably, for this photograph the highest-resolution digital version available from the Library of Congress is not very high resolution. Since the Library of Congress URLs have changed at least once, instead of citing the URL of the original image, I'll cite the call number.
Teletype in Civilian Defense, 1941
"Civilian defense. Much time is saved by the use of the teletype to spread important messages during air raids. Individual telephone calls to the various defense centers are unnecessary, since the teletype will present the information on paper to all centers simultaneously." Call Number: LC-USE6- D-001469 [P&P]. October, 1941.
All of the OWI images here were created as official US federal government photographs and are in the public domain. The digitized versions of them at the Library of Congress and the re-presentation of these here remain in the public domain.
