Individual U.S. School: Unidentified Urban School (1907)


Figure 1.-- Unfortunately we do not know the name of this school or where it was located. We do know when this wonderful class portrait was taken--May 1907. It is a 5th grade class. The next to the last year. The portrait looks to have been taken right outside the school building, but facing down the street. This gives us a sence of the neigborhood.

Unfortunately we do not know the name of this school or where it was located. We do know when this wonderful class portrait was taken--May 1907. It is a 5th grade class. The next to the last year. The portrait looks to have been taken right outside the school building, but facing down the street. This gives us a sence of the neigborhood. It is a nice clear, but rather informal portrait of the boys and girls. The children are enjoying having their portrait taken and the friendly relations among the children are apparent. For some reason they have hand held flags. We are not sure why. The children seem rather dressed up for the portrait, but this may be just normal schoolwear for the time. The boys all wear knee pants or knickers suits, its a little difficult to tell. The boys all look to be wearing ties. The girls wear a variety of dresses, most with high collars. All the children seem to be black long stockings. The hair is interesting. Many of the girls wear hair bows. Note that several bows have center parts and girls side parts, a reversal of the more common part conventions.
