EDITORS COMMENTS
Recess Period on the Playground, 6th Division (circa 1899): A captivating image from the 19th century captures the essence of childhood innocence during a recess period at the 6th Division, likely in Washington D.C., United States of America. This vintage photograph, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases a group of boys in their element, enjoying their break from the rigors of classroom learning. The boys, dressed in their Sunday best, engage in various activities, some playing games, others simply relaxing on the grass. The playground, filled with tall trees and lush greenery, serves as the perfect backdrop for this idyllic scene. The use of cyanotypes, a common photographic process during the late 1800s, adds to the historical significance of the image. This photograph is a testament to the importance of outdoor play and the joy it brings to children, a concept that remains relevant even in today's modern educational landscape. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the simple pleasures of childhood.
