EDITORS COMMENTS
Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), a pioneering American photographer, is captured in this half-length, front-facing portrait taken around 1936. Johnston adjusts the lens of her large tripod camera, demonstrating her expertise and dedication to her craft. The image was taken in front of the Arts Club, located at 2017 Eye Street in Washington, D.C. Johnston's classic 1930s attire includes a long-sleeved blouse, a fitted skirt, and a stylish hat. The photograph, reminiscent of the era, showcases the concept of heritage and history through its monochromatic tones. As a prominent figure in American photography, Johnston's work documented the historic buildings and landscapes of the United States, including numerous structures in Washington D.C. and the District of Columbia. This self-portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a trailblazing artist, who, with her adjustable camera and unwavering focus, captured the essence of her country's rich heritage. The Library of Congress holds a vast collection of Johnston's portrait photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, making this image an invaluable addition to the historical record of this remarkable woman and her contributions to the field of photography.
