EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical moment in education - the Dressmaking Class in Evening Public School 18, Brooklyn, during the New York School Enquiry of 1911-13. The image showcases a group of young women diligently engaged in their dressmaking lessons, under the guidance of their teacher. The photograph was taken by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century and is now part of a private collection. The significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of a specific class but also as an illustration for the Final Report by the Committee on School Inquiry Board of Estimate and Apportionment for the City of New York. It offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century education practices, highlighting vocational training opportunities provided to students at that time. Located in Brooklyn's Evening Public School 18, this dressmaking class represents one facet of America's commitment to providing practical skills to its citizens. As we observe these young women engrossed in their work, we are reminded of how education has always played a crucial role in shaping individuals' lives and empowering them with valuable knowledge. This photograph serves as both a testament to our educational heritage and an appreciation for those who dedicated themselves to teaching future generations. It stands as evidence that even over a century ago, schools were actively preparing students for real-world careers through hands-on learning experiences like dressmaking classes.
