Original Photo
[Women Education] [Photography] Bradford Female Seminary. First all-female academy in MA. From a collection of stereoview photographs of Haverhill, Massachusetts. c. 1880s. A memorabilia, recording many aspects of the first major movement of women's education in the United States brings depth to a movement that was groundbreaking in its time, but today is largely at risk of disappearing from the historical record. Dimensions 4 x 7 inches. J.W. & J.S. Moulton, Landscape Photographers. #30 “Bradford Female Seminary.” Double stereoscopic image of the seminary building with approximately 16 female students standing out front. Bradford opened in 1804 as the first coeducational institution in Massachusetts, but due to overwhelming interest from parents of girls with no other option for education, Bradford soon transitioned to become the first all-female academy in Massachusetts, and among the first in the United States in 1836. Stereoscopic photographs are viewed through special lenses to create the illusion of depth. Light toning. In very good condition.Item #17013
