EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1907, this striking print showcases a domestic chemistry class at Battersea Polytechnic in London. The image offers a glimpse into the world of education and scientific exploration during the early 20th century. In this laboratory setting, female students can be seen fully engaged in their experiments, surrounded by an array of laboratory equipment. The photograph not only highlights the dedication and enthusiasm of these women pursuing knowledge in science but also serves as a testament to the progressiveness of Battersea Polytechnic. At a time when opportunities for women were limited, this institution provided them with access to higher education and practical training. Located on Battersea Park Road, Battersea Polytechnic was under the governance of both London County Council (LCC) and Greater London Council (GLC). This historic site played a crucial role in shaping scientific minds and empowering women through education. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this monochrome image stands as an important record of social history. It reminds us of the strides made towards gender equality in academia while offering insight into early 20th-century teaching methods. This snapshot captures not just moments frozen in time but also represents the determination and resilience displayed by generations past who sought knowledge against societal norms.
