This is a historical educational image set from Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Hampton, Virginia, showing agricultural training facilities and activities. The top header indicates it was part of "Agencies Promoting Assimilation of the Negro" and focused on "Training for Commercial and Industrial Employment." The image set contains two photographs: 1. Left image: Shows the interior of the "Cow Barn at Shellbanks Farm" - a large, well-organized barn with rows of stalls and structural wooden beams supporting the roof. The perspective shows a long central aisle with stalls on either side. 2. Right image: Titled "Studying the Cow" - shows a group of students and instructors observing a light-colored cow in an outdoor setting. The students appear to be dressed in formal attire typical of the early 1900s, and they're gathered around to study the animal, likely as part of their agricultural education. These photographs appear to be documentation of the institute's agricultural education program, which was an important component of vocational training at the time.
