EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Class in Drilling" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back to the late 19th century in the United States. The scene unfolds in a rustic, open-air setting, with three determined boys intently focused on their drilling exercise. Their uniforms, consisting of collared shirts and trousers, suggest they belong to a school or military academy. The photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1899, is a poignant reminder of the educational and disciplinary practices of the time. The boys, with their serious expressions and postures, embody the spirit of dedication and discipline instilled in young students during this era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished American photographer, captured this moment in time through her use of the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique during the late 1800s. The resulting image, with its vibrant blue hues, adds a unique and intriguing aesthetic to the photograph. The location of this photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to be in the Washington D.C. area, given Johnston's association with the region and its rich historical significance. This image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the enduring importance of education and the indelible impact it has on the lives of young people. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the shared experiences and values that connect us to the past, and the enduring spirit of determination and dedication that continues to shape the lives of students today.
