Augustine H. Folsom Photographs

Augustine H. Folsom owned a carpet factory in late 19th century Boston and he was also a professional photographer. He took hundreds of shots of Boston Public Schools along with many shots of various school activities and his own Roxbury neighborhood. This collection from the Boston Public Library brings together 662 of his photos. Over a 30 year period he documented Boston Latin, Boston English, and other high schools that have since moved buildings and locations in the Hub. What is most remarkable here are the many images of art work created by public school students, such as clay figurines, drawings, paintings, and much more. Visitors can look through these images by keyword or even create their own search. Overall, it provides fascinating insight into one man's curiosity about his city, his community, and his various passions.
