EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of creativity and learning at Hampton Institute in Virginia, USA, circa 1899 or 1900. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image showcases a group of teachers and students engaged in an art class, painting intricately detailed watercolor pictures of butterflies. The scene is set in a spacious room filled with natural light, where wooden desks and chairs are arranged in neat rows. The teachers, both male and female, are dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, their expressions reflecting a deep concentration on their art. The students, mostly African American, sit attentively at their desks, their hands deftly holding brushes and paint palettes. The butterflies they are painting are displayed on the table in front of them, adding a vibrant pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of art education during the late 19th century, and serves as a testament to the transformative power of art and learning.
