EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "5th Div. Wash. D.C. school on outing along C&O Canal, (1899?)" was created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases a group of eager schoolchildren from Washington D.C., dressed in their Sunday best, as they gather around a barge on the C&O Canal. The canal, a historic geographical feature running parallel to the Potomac River, was a popular destination for educational outings during the late 19th century. Johnston, a pioneering female photographer, expertly captures the essence of this day out, with the children's curious expressions as they examine the boat and the sense of camaraderie amongst them. The image, reminiscent of cyanotypes from the 1890s and 1900s, transports us back to a simpler time in American history. The children, both boys and girls, seem to be enjoying their day trip, a rare opportunity for them to leave the confines of their urban school environment and explore the natural beauty of their country. The boys, dressed in collared shirts and trousers, and the girls, in long dresses and bonnets, embody the innocence and wonder of childhood. This photograph is a precious piece of our nation's heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the importance of education and the joy of discovery. The Library of Congress, where this image is housed, is a testament to the enduring value of preserving our history for future generations.
