Additional Information

Trade schools have been a valuable resource for students looking to gain practical vocational skills instead of entering academia. In this historical photograph of students gaining skills to work in the plumbing trade, the viewer gains a perspective on working-class life in New York City at the turn of the century as modern improvements and advances continued to transform urban life in large cities across the nation and new levels of sanitation of plumbing systems improved the quality of life and health of Americans across the country.

This vintage photo was produced on a glass plate negative, contributing to its distinctive style and aesthetic and maintaining accuracy to the period in which it was created. These types of negatives were common during the latter part of the nineteenth century and were widely used until the 1920s when technological advances in photography made the process too cumbersome and expensive when compared to modern techniques. This historic photo is kept in the extensive George Bain Collection, which features some of the earliest news photographs as an archive to preserve the cultural moments that have defined each era and provide perspective on the development and evolution of American society and culture.

The minimal aspect of this photo's aesthetic and its striking black and white style evoke the era and transport the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. This is an authentic piece of American photographic history that captures a moment of considerable transformation in America.
