EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Students in Ordinary Clothes with Camera' dates back to the early 20th century, specifically 1905. The image, sourced from the archives of Bedford College, London, depicts a group of students in a casual setting, engaging in an activity that was considered quite novel at the time - photography. The students, dressed in ordinary clothes, are seen huddled around a camera, likely setting it up for a group shot. Their attire, consisting of blouses, skirts, and waistcoats for the women, and collared shirts and trousers for the men, reflects the fashion trends of the era. The students' expressions are filled with excitement and anticipation, as they prepare to capture a moment in time. Physical Education was an essential component of the curriculum at Bedford College during this period. The college, which was founded in 1849, was one of the first institutions in the UK to offer higher education to women. The college placed a strong emphasis on the importance of a healthy body and mind, and Physical Education was an integral part of the students' daily routine. The inclusion of a camera in this photograph is a testament to the progressive nature of the college. Photography was a popular hobby during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the students' enthusiasm for this new technology reflects their curiosity and willingness to embrace new experiences. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of students over a century ago. It is a reminder of the importance of education, the joy of learning, and the enduring appeal of photography.
