Among the many Washington views on this board, this stereograph stands out for its focus on everyday school life rather than monuments. Dating to about 1911, it was made to be seen through a stereoscope, a viewer that fused two slightly different photographs into one three-dimensional scene. The Beaver Co. published cards like this for home audiences who enjoyed touring distant places and institutions from their parlors. Today such views give researchers a glimpse of classroom settings in the early twentieth century.
