Description: | This is work which was done in the junior school. Samplers, such as these, contained a selection of techniques and stitches which were used in the West End needle trade at the time, and were made by students before they went on to make complete garments. The work in this photograph formed part of an exhibition held at the London Day Training College, Southampton Row in 1927 to show the collective work of the London needle trade schools. Apart from doing samples and making garments from trade donations of material, the students learnt their trade be making garments mainly for members of the staff. These commissions were to the requirements of the individual teacher and rarely appeared in photographs or the annual exhibition of work. | Subjects: | photograph childrenswear uniform dresses dress stand tea cosy Exhibition: exhibition flowers female student embroidery | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Photographer unknown Creator Corporate Name: Barrett Street school | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7651... | Go to resource |
