A. Bailly-Blanchard (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Wystan said:

  LOC: Bain's caption renders the name as "A. Bailly-Blanchard".

• Richard Norton said:

  I started a biography of him for Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur Bailly-Blanchard The spelling "Arthur Bailly-Blanchard" gets the most hits in Google.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  It appears that the Bain caption has the correct spelling: Bailly-Blanchard, which is also how it is spelled on the website Political Graveyard. The New York Times article noting his death in 1925 spells the name: Bai!ly-Blanchard in the headline. One more source would confirm for the change to the caption. Thanks so much.

• Ryan (LOC P&P) said:

  Good enough for me. Thanks Richard Arthur Norton, we'll correct the spelling of the name in the caption the next time we update the record.

Best dressed windows of any classroom ever?

  What a lovely little place! :)

• La Belle Province said:

  This makes me think well of the nuns.

• Mike | MP-P said:

  This place has a slightly haunting, eerie feeling to it. Perhaps it's the lighting plus the statues in the windows!

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Mike | MP-P Maybe so, but there's always something slightly desolate about an empty classroom, don't you think?

• smrhd (away) said:

  "The Desolation of An Empty Classroom", now there is a title for a book, poem, photo series, collage, whatever you want. Wonderful photo above. A hint of unease as -MJP- commented. Do I see draughts (checkers) boards on the table there?
