About This Item
10.125" x 13" photo album with over 300 photos that capture the joy, exuberance and creativity of Wellesley college students from 1916-1917. These gorgeous black and white photos display the delights of attending an all women's college.
There are several class photos, and shots from inside dorm rooms, administrative buildings nd mess halls, but the majority of the photos share the playful side of students. Together the women are seen dancing, laughing, rowing, playing instruments, and politicking. In one photo, a woman is holding a "Debs" sign, and in another a sign that reads "utopia." There are several pages full of theatrical performances and costume shots in nature and on stage. Other photos share experiences t the beach in the summertime and again in the colder months.
The photos vary in size and are all glued to the page. Around 12 photos are missing and a couple are detached, along with the front cover. There are not captions, but you can feel the joy of the women in this album.
