Introducing Mrs Wright and her art students

A couple of weeks ago Barbra joan posted on her blog a picture of Mrs. Wright and her art students. This picture was taken in 1888. I knew at that very moment I had to have this in my studio. So, I asked Barbra joan if I could print off the computer a copy of her picture and put it in my studio. She said I will do one better I have an extra copy and will send it to you. Well, it is HERE and I am so excited. I will have this professionally matted and framed and will put right above my computer desk in my studio. This way I can view it daily. Barbra joan thank you so much for your amazing generosity. I truly love this photo.

Omgosh Veronica , I'm so glad that you love it as much as I do. It's a real piece of history isn't it? and I would say that Mrs. Wright is the one standing to the left of the easel. She seems to be the older one, and has that look!!

Wow!

I love historic photographs. The fact that these ladies were all artists makes it that much more exciting to me.

Thanks for sharing this!
