EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1901, captures a scene from the Infirmary at the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Established in 1879 as an industrial school for Native American children, the institution aimed to assimilate indigenous students into white American culture by providing them with an education and training in agriculture, trades, and domestic skills. In this image, four girls are gathered around a medicine cabinet in the Infirmary. The girls, dressed in simple, turn-of-the-century clothing, appear to be intently studying the various bottles and jars on the shelves. One girl holds a medicine bottle, possibly examining its contents. The scene exudes an air of curiosity and learning, as the girls engage in a quiet moment of study and exploration. The Infirmary, with its white walls, high ceilings, and large windows, is a testament to the modern medical practices of the time. The photograph also reveals the influence of the Pennsylvania German architectural style, with its simple lines and functional design. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment in history, providing a glimpse into the daily life of the Carlisle Indian School and the experiences of its students. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, serving as an important historical record of a pivotal period in American history.
