Blake & Edgar's "Picturesque Bedfordshire" Series

I assume these two are by the same company - there is one difference on the reverse sides. The first has the "Blake & Edgar's" name, the second does not.

Very nicely posed photo. Notice the teacher and student in the center. The next two girls on either side are studying the central action. The outer girls are concentrating on their work, or supposed to be concentrating. The one on the right doesn't seem too happy about the whole thing; she's the most interesting one to me.

Another example has come to light which says the lace school was in Marston.
