Tune in to this #ThrowbackThursday!
Two grand pianos sit in a classroom in this week’s highlight, a 5-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ black and white photograph from Union College taken around 1911 – 1912. Each piano has sheet music on its music rack. One piano has a wooden chair in front of it, while the other has a wooden stool; both the chair and the stool have rugs under them. There is a wooden desk against one of the walls, with a bust and a framed picture on it. Another bust can be seen between the pianos. A chalkboard hangs on one of the walls, and there are framed pictures of composers on the walls as well. Bare light bulbs hang from the ceiling. The music classroom was located in the administration building.
This image is owned and published by the Union College, Ella Johnson Crandall Memorial Library.
