Colorized photo from 1899
Original title: Young men training in the use of machinery at Hampton Institute
Photographer: Frances Benjamin Johnston
Location Hampton, VA
This is the machinist class in the Hampton Institute, they had all kinds of trade classes here, too many to list. It was a school mostly for African Americans. You can see the usual array of tools, but I've personally never seen vices like that before.
As I colored this, I noticed a large eyeball just over the boy's head working the drill press, near the teacher, its in the curtain. I have no idea what that is. It's creepy once you see it. I assume its just a trick of the light or something. I colored it all the same color, no need to make it look like a real eye.
