EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Johnston Captivates an Audience at Lake Como, Italy, 1899: A Moment of Innovation and Curiosity In this photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899, we find the renowned American photographer standing amongst a group of children at the picturesque shores of Lake Como, Italy. Dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, Johnston exudes a sense of confidence and determination as she holds her plate camera and adjusts its settings, ready to capture the beauty of her surroundings. The children, intrigued by the mysterious apparatus and the woman wielding it, gather around her, their curious faces filled with wonder and excitement. The boys, dressed in their Sunday best, peer over Johnston's shoulder, while the girls cling to her skirt, eager to be a part of the magic unfolding before their eyes. This image, a testament to the power of photography and the innate human desire to explore and understand the world around us, is a poignant reminder of the past. Taken during the late 19th century, a time of great innovation and change, it showcases the role of women in society and their ability to challenge traditional gender norms. Johnston, an accomplished photographer and trailblazer, defied expectations and made her mark in a male-dominated field. The photograph, a black and white plate print from the Library of Congress, is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, culture, and human curiosity. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of a bygone era.
