EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Potomac River, c1898" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back to the late 19th century in America. The monochrome image, a beautiful cyanotype, showcases the serene and untouched beauty of the Potomac River. The river's tranquil waters reflect the clear blue sky above, while reeds line the riverbank, adding a textured contrast to the otherwise still scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer, captured this image during the 1890s. Her expertise in the cyanotype process, a photographic printing technique that produces a cyan-blue image, is evident in the vibrant and detailed representation of the Potomac River. The Potomac River, a significant geographical feature in the United States, stretches over 400 miles from its headwaters in West Virginia to its mouth at the Chesapeake Bay. This image, now housed in the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the heritage and history of the Potomac River during a time when the natural world was still largely unaltered by industrialization. The image's composition, with the reeds leading the eye to the horizon, emphasizes the vastness of the river and the endless expanse of the sky. This photograph is not only a stunning work of art but also a valuable historical record of the Potomac River during the 19th century.
