EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, depicts a group of excited third division children from Washington, D.C. public schools during a field trip to examine rocks. The children, both boys and girls, are intently focused on their discoveries, their small hands carefully turning over the geological specimens spread out before them. The educator, likely a female teacher, looks on approvingly, her expression reflecting the joy and wonder of this educational outing. The location of this historical moment is not definitively known, but it is believed to have taken place in the United States, possibly at a congressional library or other educational institution. The use of cyanotypes, a photographic process popular during this time, adds an intriguing vintage aesthetic to the image. This photograph not only captures the essence of a day trip for schoolchildren in the late 1800s, but also highlights the importance of science education and the role of field trips in enriching the learning experience for young minds.
