A display of items, such as baskets, and other items in a room decorated with Native-American motifs in the Leupp Art Studio. These items may have been made by students at the school and offered for sale.  

The Cumberland County Historical Society has two copies of this image; a print (14B-16-02) and a glass plate negative (00315A#03). It was previously attributed to the photographer A. A. Line, but because the print (and others in the series) are in collections associated with the school's photographer Everett Strong, we believe it was taken by Strong. Everett Strong was a photographer employed by the school starting in May 1908; he had left before December 1909.
