Ah! Good morning, Miss Mason" is a comic scene from an office, where a woman employee is greeted with a mix of surprise and good cheer. The card is a stereograph, meant to be viewed through a stereoscope, which gave its paired images a sense of depth. Photographer E.W. Kelley produced it around 1907 under the Berry, Kelley & Chadwick copyright. Its catalog tags, "Humor" and "Woman--Employ," show that it belongs to a popular genre of early twentieth-century comic cards about women entering clerical and office work. The record is based on an older caption card and has not been fully verified.
