EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1889 and 1890, offers a rare glimpse into the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's Stamp Division during the late 19th century. The image showcases a woman and a man intently working together at a printing press, surrounded by the soothing blue hues of cyanotypes. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, located in Washington D.C., was responsible for producing stamps for the United States Postal Service. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this moment of collaboration between two employees, highlighting the importance of teamwork in the production process. The woman, dressed in a high-necked blouse and long skirt, carefully guides a sheet of paper through the machine, while the man, wearing a waistcoat and shirt sleeves, expertly operates the press. The monochrome palette of the image adds to its timeless quality, transporting us back to an era of industrial innovation and heritage art. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the United States, showcasing the dedication and hard work of its people during the 19th century. The Library of Congress, which houses this precious piece of American history, continues to preserve and share such invaluable images, allowing us to explore the past and better understand our collective heritage.
