EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Metal shop (blacksmithing) class in a Washington, D.C. high school, (1899?)", was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late 19th century in the United States. Located in the bustling District of Columbia, this high school classroom was a hub of industrial education and hands-on learning. The boys in the photograph are engrossed in their metalwork, their faces reflecting concentration and determination. The room is filled with the tools of their trade - anvils, hammers, tongs, and glowing coals. The atmosphere is one of creativity and craftsmanship, as these young students hone their skills under the watchful eye of their teacher. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American educator and photographer, documented this scene with her camera, capturing the essence of the metalworking class. Her cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique of the time, adds to the vintage feel of the image. The photograph is a testament to the importance of industrial education in the late 19th century and the dedication of students to their chosen professions. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable historical artifact that provides insight into the lives of students in Washington, D.C. during the late 1800s. The image is a reminder of the rich heritage of American education and the importance of preserving our history for future generations.
