FORMALLY EDUCATED?

A large group of children and adults were taken close up in front of a two-story wooden building, with one man on the right side wearing glasses and seemingly in control of the others. I have wondered about the relationships of the posers. The archivally restored quarter plate is held in a complete leather case. The intriguing arrangement certainly deserves further study and I will allow the next owner to do proper research. It should be obvious that there are several interesting ?characters? in the ensemble. Slender mat marks are just inside the oval opening. The tonality is marvelous, the contrast impressive and the silver shimmers in good viewing light.
