EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled "Halstead School," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a school in the United States during the 1910s. The scene is set outdoors, with the students gathered in a picturesque garden, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are seated on the grass, some with their arms around each other, creating a sense of camaraderie and unity. Others stand to the side, gazing at the camera with curious expressions. The clothing worn by the students reflects the fashion of the time, with girls in long, flowing dresses and boys in collared shirts and trousers. The boys' hair is slicked back, while the girls' hair is neatly braided or tied up. The girls' dresses, with their high collars and long sleeves, are reminiscent of the Edwardian era, while the boys' clothing is more in line with the early 1910s. The Halstead School, located in the United States, is depicted here in a charming and idyllic setting, with the children enjoying a moment of respite from their studies. The photograph, which was captured on glass negatives, is a testament to the rich heritage of American education and the enduring appeal of childhood innocence. This image, taken by Arnold Genthe, is a treasure in the Library of Congress' extensive collection of historical photographs.
