"An Arithmetic Class, Tuskegee, Alabama"

Keystone View Company

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of an arithmetic classroom setting with students working at a blackboard. The image captures the interior of a classroom where rows of wooden desks are occupied, facing a large blackboard covered in arithmetic problems written in chalk. Several students are standing at the blackboard, seemingly solving these mathematical equations. On the walls above the blackboard, there is framed artwork or photographs. The photograph provides depth and dimension to the classroom scene, making the arrangement of desks and students more vivid. Details such as books and papers are visible on the desks.
