Two female students posed seated at a desk and at a table, and another female student standing next to the desk, at one end of the sewing room. Nearby is a table with piles of printed materials, probably patterns or reference works.
The Cumberland County Historical assigned this photograph the title "Dress Designing at the Carlisle Indian School."
Note: This negative is in the Cumberland County Historical Society's A. A. Line Collection, which contains images either taken or collected by Line. At some point, either during Line's lifetime or later, images from other photographers, including apparently Everett Strong, were integrated into the Line Collection without appropriate attribution. This image is similar to those attributed to Strong. Therefore at this time we cannot be sure which photographer was responsible for the image.
