EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Children doing calisthenics while sitting at their desks in a classroom" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back to the late 19th century in Washington, D.C. The photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1899, showcases a unique approach to incorporating physical activity into the daily routine of students in the 5th Division public schools. The monochrome cyanotype captures a group of attentive boys and girls, seated at their desks, engaging in calisthenics. Their focused expressions and postures convey a sense of discipline and order. The desks, arranged in neat rows, are adorned with blue and cyan-toned textbooks and school supplies, adding to the authenticity of the scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, skillfully documented this moment in history. Her photograph is a testament to the importance of education and the innovative methods employed during this era to ensure a well-rounded learning experience. The image is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of American history and serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of the students who attended these schools in Washington, D.C. This still image, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the evolution of education and the importance of physical activity in the lives of children.
