Children’s Reading Room

Photograph by A. Janik, Children’s Reading Room. 1956.

Gelatin-silver print, black and white photograph capturing a quiet moment in a children’s reading room. Seated around two round tables, children read and write, while others browse bookshelves lining the wood-panelled walls. An adult stands nearby with a book in hand, overseeing the scene. Open displayed books about Mozart, Rembrandt or London line the top of shelves and a hanging light fixture add warmth to the space.
