The color photograph shows what may be a typical desk or work table of a senior official in the library service. A scriptor or an amanuensis (assistant scribe) possibly, since these two people with this job title have to do the work of the classic "librarian" behind the scenes. In addition to the necessary work utensils – such as nib pens, inkwell, blotting cradle, index cards, and various inventory books and lists – the everyday work is completed by many other period-typical accessories, which allows you to put yourself in the necessary work steps and to revel and live a little in the flair of the 19th century.
