EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the bustling Dressmaking Room at Battersea Polytechnic, London. The room is filled with young Domestic Science Students diligently working on their sewing projects, under the watchful eye of their teacher. The atmosphere is one of focused concentration as these children immerse themselves in the art of dressmaking. In another corner of the polytechnic, we see these same students honing their culinary skills in the Practice Kitchen. Equipped with aprons and utensils, they are engrossed in preparing meals and learning valuable cooking techniques. This practical experience will undoubtedly serve them well in their future endeavors. Taken by an English photographer from the 20th century, this image offers a glimpse into early educational practices. It was originally featured as an illustration for The Teachers Encyclopaedia edited by A. P. Laurie in 1911. The photograph not only showcases the dedication and hard work put forth by these domestic science students but also highlights the importance placed on vocational training during that era. It serves as a testament to how education has evolved over time while reminding us of its timeless value. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic merit. Through photography's lens, we can witness moments frozen in time that continue to inspire and educate generations to come.
