This online exhibit features sample photographs from the Queens, N.Y. School
Photographs collection, which includes 160 black and white panoramic
photographs, all of which were taken in schools (mainly public) in Queens,
N.Y., from 1924-1936. The majority of the photographs in the collection are
class graduation pictures. All of the photographs were taken by professional
photographer Frederick J. Weber (1881-1967), who is well-known for having
documented various subjects in Queens County for over 50 years. Weber
owned a studio in Jamaica, N.Y., and many of the schools represented in the
collection are in Jamaica or its surrounding communities.
