EDITORS COMMENTS
A Lesson in Globe Making: A Captivating Scene from a Washington, D.C. Schoolroom in 1899 This image, titled "A Lesson in Globe Making," transports us back to a Washington, D.C. schoolroom in 1899. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases an engaging moment in the classroom as students diligently focus on their task. The scene is set against the backdrop of a traditional schoolroom, with students seated at their desks, arranged in neat rows. The room is filled with the essential furniture of the era, including a large wooden table at the front of the room, where a teacher stands, guiding her students. The blackboard, adorned with maps and diagrams, serves as a visual aid for the lesson. The students, both boys and girls, are deeply engrossed in the activity at hand. They are in the process of making globes, an essential part of their geography education. The cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique of the late 19th century, was likely used to create this monochrome image, adding to its vintage charm. The children are dressed in their Sunday best, their expressions reflecting a mix of concentration and excitement. The girls, wearing long, flowing dresses, and the boys, in collared shirts and trousers, are a testament to the era's fashion trends. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the educational system of the late 19th century, highlighting the importance of geography and the dedication of the educator in imparting knowledge to her students. The Library of Congress, where this image is housed, preserves this piece of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
