EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Field Trip to the Smithsonian Institution (1899?)" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past of education and exploration in America. The image captures a group of boys and girls from a Washington, D.C. school, dressed in their Sunday best, embarking on an exciting day trip to the renowned Smithsonian Institution. The children, filled with curiosity and wonder, are seen standing in front of a display case filled with scientific artifacts, their eyes fixed on the exhibits. The boys wear collared shirts and trousers, while the girls don dresses and bonnets, reflecting the fashion of the late 19th century. The Smithsonian Institution, a leading scientific and cultural institution in the United States, served as a source of knowledge and inspiration for these young minds. The photograph, taken in black and white, adds to its historical charm and timeless appeal. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer, expertly captured this moment in history, providing us with a valuable record of a day out that combined education and adventure for these schoolchildren.
