EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pressmen at work in printing shop, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Virginia, 1899 or 1900," is a fascinating glimpse into the past of Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this image showcases a group of focused African American men in the institute's printing shop. The men, dressed in collared shirts and aprons, are intently working on various printing machines, their expressions a testament to the concentration required in their practical and skillful trade. Hampton Institute, also known as Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was a historically black college and university founded in 1868. It was established to provide education and vocational training to newly freed slaves, with the goal of helping them become self-sufficient members of society. The printing shop was just one of the many departments that offered hands-on learning experiences for students. The photograph, taken during the late 19th or early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of the rich history of education and training that took place at Hampton Institute. The men in this image are not only learning a valuable skill, but they are also contributing to the production of knowledge and information that would have been disseminated through the institute's publications. This photograph is an essential piece of American history, showcasing the determination and resilience of the African American community during a pivotal time in the country's history. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer, captured this moment in time with exceptional skill and sensitivity, providing us with a window into the past that continues to inspire and inform us today. The image is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring value.
