EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, depicts a group of public school children on an educational outing to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. (possibly around 1899). The young boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, are gathered around a beaver dam located near the riverbank. Their curious expressions and animated conversation suggest an engaging learning experience as they observe the intricacies of the beaver's engineering skills. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment in history, offering a glimpse into the country's educational system and the importance of nature exploration during the 19th century. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the value of field trips and hands-on learning, as well as the enduring fascination with the natural world. The National Zoo, a popular destination for schoolchildren and families, provided an opportunity for urban students to connect with the natural environment and learn about geographical features, such as the beaver dam. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage and fostering a sense of wonder and curiosity in future generations.
