This group portrait shows a class of students from the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, identified on the negative as the class of 1905. The college, founded in 1853, was one of the early institutions in the United States to offer higher education to women, and it stood in a small college town in southwestern Ohio. The record suggests the photograph was made around 1904, probably during the students' final years, though the date is uncertain. The Detroit Publishing Company, which made many commercial views of American towns, schools and scenery in the early twentieth century, produced the negative.
