Teachers College Archive

I visited the underground labyrinths of the Teachers College archive today. It is a brilliant place of peeling walls, damp smells, dim lights and rooms full of texts, objects, paintings, video's, photographs and buckets to catch the drips. This is a piece of work from the Zeigfeld collection which was compiled in the 1950's of children's paintings from around the worid mostly in their early teens. This one is by a girl of about 14 done in the early 1950's. Dr Edwin Zeigfeld (1905-1983) was the creator of the arts and education programme at TC.
