Beschreibung

Large photograph measuring about 8.5" x 6", mounted on thick cardstock, with a 1-inch border. Photograph in excellent condition; well-preserved. The mount shows scuffing from either tape or paper removal along the bottom edge, otherwise rather clean. The image depicts a large group of schoolchildren -- perhaps 100 or so -- along with a few schoolteachers scattered about the room, and there is a piano with music posed in the front. There is a conspicuous absence of a teacher or instructor, though perhaps that person is taking the picture. With light coming through large windows on three visible sides of the room, it seems likely that this is a one-room schoolhouse. Extrapolating from the context of the collection from which this photograph emerged, we think it's likely rural Ohio. A lone, rather unhelpful marking, "Mrs. Jones" is pencilled on the verso.
