5 People Talking on Telephone Images
Today we have a charming collection of People Talking on Telephone Images! Old fashioned telephones are quite interesting. Our selections are a real look back in time at the history of telecommunication. There are some lovely candlestick phones along with several very unusual ones in this set. We have vintage photographs of lovely women on the phone as well. One has a textured border that would make a nice frame for something. All are nice People Talking on Telephone Images pictures to use in your Junk Journal or Card Making projects!
People Talking on Telephone Photos
Pictured above is a sweet Vintage Telephone Operator Image! This fine black and white photograph shows a smiling woman talking on a phone. She is holding an elaborate handset that appears to be made out of metal and bakelite. The phone is housed in a large wooden box with several plugs on the sides. The box is sitting on a marble topped table or stand. She appears to be manning a Telephone system or Switchboard. Such a fun Old Fashioned Image!
Here we have another old photo of a lovely, smiling lady on the phone. Look how shiny and elegant this phone is. It is a rather distinctive and stylish Candlestick telephone with a shiny nickel plated (I think) shaft and dark mouthpiece that seems adjustable. I’ll bet it was pricey for the times. It probably weighs a good bit too!
Above is a fun antique postcard, circa 1911, showing a photo of a woman on a candlestick telephone who is wearing a very large hat! The caption reads “I wouldn’t say that about you.” It sounds like she might be a bit of a gossip, what do you think?! I wonder if she actually said something she shouldn’t have about the other party on the phone line! I like the cute textured border on this card.
Child Talking on Telephone Pictures
This pretty little girl graphic comes from an old children’s book, which is about teaching children the basic skills of everyday life. This child is learning how to answer the telephone properly. What a great looking old fashioned, black candlestick phone she has! I can’t tell whether or not it has a dial. The darling little girl is wearing a bright green dress with white collar and a big red bow in her hair. Perhaps it is Christmas time!

Hi Karen,
Oh aren’t these precious? And look how the style has evolved from so many decades ago! I got a big kick out of the gossip girl. She doesn’t look that innocent to me. Lol! I’m sure they had to share phone numbers such as party lines and someone overheard her saying something she shouldn’t have and kind of got caught. But it gave me a good chuckle. Serves her right.
But I do love the actual photos – somehow, they can take us back in time.
Thanks so much for sharing these with us! You do find so many goldmines for us!! Thank you!

Thank you Irene! I used to spend my Summers on my grandmother’s farm in Nova Scotia, her phone was a party line. She had some gossipy neighbors that you used to spend a lot of time on that line! Too funny!
