EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Washington, D.C. public schools, 1st Division - art class sketching outdoors," was taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston around the turn of the 20th century, approximately in 1899. The scene depicts a group of boys and girls from the 1st Division of the Washington, D.C. public schools, engaged in an art class outing. The children are seated on the grass, shaded by trees, as they focus intently on their sketchbooks, capturing the beauty of their natural surroundings. The boys wear collared shirts and shorts, while the girls are dressed in simple dresses and sun hats. This image offers a glimpse into the educational practices of the time, highlighting the importance of art and nature in the curriculum. The photograph is a testament to the simple pleasures of a day trip or field trip, where students were encouraged to explore their creativity and connect with their environment. This historic image is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and educational heritage of the United States.
