Description

The jobs we've lost are windows into the past

Gladiators fought for glory. Ice harvesters chopped up lakes. In the USA, human computers, called rocket women, calculated the paths of the spaceships with pen and paper.

Marvel at Germany's feared coffee detectives and London's dreaded executioners.
