Description

photographic paper photography (process) This is the famous picture of Mary Rippon - German Professor - in her classroom - probably in Old Main. A map of central Europe is on the wall at the left and neatly written on the board in old German script is a quotation from Goethe, SCHWINDET, IHR DUNKELN WOLBUNGEN DROBEN!, which Miss Rippon appears to have written on the board just for the photographer. Loosely translated it means "Vanish you dark vault up there". The lines are from Faust, "Der TragÃ¶die Erster Teil" - lines 1447-8 - which are the first lines of a long piece spoken by the Spirits during an exchange between Faust and Mephistopheles. The desks have initials and graffiti on them. The ones on the right have no inkwells while those at the left have inkwells. Miss Rippon's desk is on white porcelain casters and is on an elevated platform decked with tongue and groove boards. This picture appears in 14-6 so it was probably taken in the winter of 1892-93 or possibly earlier. The room looks like room 314 over the chapel in Old Main. The windows and the location of the radiator look O.K. for this picture although the wood window frames in 314 today are different from what is shown here and from most of the frames in Main today. The drawn blinds would be logical for 314 because it has windows on the south which would let in glaring sunshine for a picture such as this. It is possible that Brackett used a magnesium flash for the foreground is light and there are diffuse shadow, photographic paper photography (process) This is the famous picture of Mary Rippon - German Professor - in her classroom - probably in Old Main.
