Beschreibung

Three printed souvenirs for school children. Each measuring approximately 3½" x 5½". Each is two string-tied leaves, printed rectos only and elaborately embossed, and with a mounted gelatin silver portrait of a different class teacher, issued for classes in Kiskiminetas or Parks Townships, all in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, but interestingly, all are printed elsewhere. A little age-toning or soiling, small chip on the corner of one example, one photographic image a little faded, but overall very good or better. The first leaf bears the portrait, name of the teacher, school, directors of the school, and the dates of the term; the second leaf bears a list of the students in the school. Handsome and prosaic evocation of education in the earliest days of the 20th Century. While it is presumed these souvenirs were not unknown, curiously we've seen very few of them.
