EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Class of the 6th Division in Statuary Hall, U.S. Capitol" (circa 1899), was masterfully captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, showcasing a group of boys and girls dressed in their Sunday best, gathered in the historic Statuary Hall of the United States Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The children, filled with excitement and wonder, are standing in front of various statues, their curious gazes fixed on their surroundings. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of cyanotypes from the 1890s to early 1900s, adds to the vintage charm of the scene. The boys, dressed in suits and ties, and the girls in long dresses and bonnets, exude a sense of innocence and youthful energy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the educational field trips and outings that were a common part of American history. The children's visit to the Capitol Library, located in the iconic Statuary Hall, was likely a cherished day out for them, an opportunity to learn about their country's rich heritage and history. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Her photograph not only serves as a historical document but also as a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the joy of discovery.
