EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Zoo" and taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1895, transports us back in time to the National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C. The image captures a significant moment at the park's entrance, where a fork in the dirt road diverges, inviting visitors to explore the wonders within. The scene is set against the backdrop of a wooded area, with the lush greenery stretching out towards the horizon. Two signs, placed prominently at the fork, serve as reminders of the rules and regulations that governed the park during the late 19th century. The first sign warns against breaking branches or removing plants, emphasizing the importance of preserving the natural environment for the animals and future visitors. The second sign prohibits dogs from entering the park, ensuring the safety and comfort of the wildlife inhabitants. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, captured this moment through the medium of cyanotypes, a photographic printing process popular during the 1890s and 1900s. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey the essence of the moment makes this image a valuable addition to the historical record of the National Zoological Park and the rich heritage of American photography. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the significance of preserving natural spaces and the role they play in our collective history. The National Zoological Park, as depicted in Johnston's photograph, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world and the importance of protecting it for future generations.
