c. 1908

Overview

Image: Black and white photograph of girls and teachers (?) from Subiaco State School taken against a brick and weatherboard wall. The girls in the two back rows are standing; those in the second row from the front are seated on chairs; and the front row girls are seted cross-legged on a mat on the ground. The donor's mother, Mary Schnitzler, was 15 years at the time and is second from the right in the third row. The girls all wear long-sleeved dresses with white Eton-type collars and ties, except for three of the girls in the front row who wear lace collars, while the girl at the centre has a sailor collar and tie. Two ladies wearing elaborae hats, and a gentleman in a suit and fob watch over his waistcoat are seated at the centre of the second row fron the front. They are presumably teachers. A pair of Indian clubs and three pairs of dumb-bells arranged on the mat in front indicate that this was a team of gymnasts.
Frame and Mount: The mount is a dull green colour and the wooden frame has a row of ornamental wood carving running along the raised rim.
