EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1890 and 1910, offers a glimpse into the Science class at Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. Established in 1799, this Roman Catholic school for girls has a rich history and tradition, and this image showcases the students' dedication to their education, particularly in the field of physics. The image, held in the Library of Congress, transports us back in time, with the students dressed in modest, high-collared dresses, their focused expressions reflecting their absorption in their studies. The nun at the left of the image, her habit a stark contrast to the students' attire, adds an intriguing layer to the scene, emphasizing the importance of education within the convent school setting. The classroom interior is adorned with various scientific apparatus, including a globe, which further underscores the students' academic pursuits. The image, a beautiful example of Johnston's mastery of cyanotypes, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these young girls as they delved into the wonders of science, guided by their dedicated educators in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
