EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899, captures a memorable moment in the history of education in Washington D.C. The image features a group of students from the 6th Division public schools, eagerly gathered around an exhibit of fine prints in the hallowed halls of the Library of Congress. Dressed in their Sunday best, the boys and girls display a palpable sense of wonder and excitement as they engage in a lively discussion with their teachers. The Library of Congress, established in 1800 and officially opened in 1897, served as a vital cultural and educational institution in the United States during the late 19th century. This field trip to the Library was likely a rare opportunity for these students to explore the rich heritage of art and history that lay within its walls. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment in monochrome, using the cyanotype process, which was popular during the late 1800s. The resulting image, with its striking blue tones, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these curious and engaged students, and the importance of education in shaping the future of our nation.
