EDITORS COMMENTS
REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS, 1895. Wood engraving from the Police Gazette, 1895 captures a snapshot of daily life in a reform school for girls during late 19th century. The print showcases an exterior scene of the school located in a bustling city. A group of young girls can be seen engaging in various activities, providing insight into their leisure time. In the foreground, a girl dressed in a traditional school uniform flirts playfully with a soldier standing nearby. This flirtation hints at the complex dynamics between authority figures and students within these institutions. Behind them, other girls are engaged in different pursuits - some dancing to music played by men on instruments while others chat or observe. The wood engraving offers glimpses into both the strict structure imposed upon these young women as well as moments of respite and camaraderie they found amidst their confinement. It serves as a visual reminder that despite being labeled "reform school girls" they were still individuals with desires for connection and enjoyment. This image is part of The Granger Collection's extensive archive which documents historical events and daily life through art forms such as engravings like this one from the Police Gazette. By preserving these prints, we gain valuable insights into past societies while appreciating the artistic craftsmanship involved.
