vintage clip art of globes

Below are antique illustrations of globes that any teacher or student may use freely in their classroom projects. Both lessons and journals will look more appealing with clip art added!

boston and chicago pencil sharpeners

Clip art of old-fashioned pencil sharpeners, mounted to either the wall or a counter top. When I was a child you could here students grinding away their pencils all day either in the classroom or hallway. Return to index.

A machine of extraordinary value. Will sharpen standard size pencils
and automatically stops cutting, once point has been produced.

vintage seating for students

For many years, each student was assigned his or her own desk inside of a classroom with rows and rows of seating. Today tables for general seating are usually preferred. Students also move around to centers of computers or to couches and chairs arranged in different parts of the room near bookcases. Back to index.

Both the front and back views of a plated steel student desk are
illustrated here. These two restored photos have transparent
backgrounds. Note the inkwell and groove to prevent the
annoying rolling of pencils during class. 1920 models
Photos are in black and white.


These desks were designed to be lined up in rows inside of the classroom. Thereby, your neighbor behind you always had the desk. The front row seats were kept as "recitation seats." Prior to the Second World War, recitation was a common practice in American classrooms.
