Description
Carte-de-visite of five girls posed playing school(?), Hoboken, no date, circa 1880-1885.
Mount 2-1/2" x 3-7/8" high (bottom trimmed ca. 1/4" inches). Photograph by Louis Nagel, 192 Washington Street [old number - modern no. 508], Hoboken. Reverse of mount has photographer's imprint. Girls are not identified.
Each one is well dressed plus three are wearing an apron or overdress. On the table are several open books plus a pen stand with the inkwell open. The girl seated at the left is holding her arm up and is being pointed to by the front girl at the right as if being called upon for her question or to given an answer. The standing girl at center does hold a pen.
This image appears to have some of the same girls as found in photos 2011.005.0127 and .0149, other carte-de-visite from the Nagel Studio. These photos and another Nagel photo dated 1881 (2011.005.0128) were once apparently in the same photo album (donor stated they were not in an album when purchased, but were available at the same time.)
