EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, depicts a large group of Normal School students in Washington, D.C. The Normal School was an institution for training teachers, and this image captures a moment in the history of education in the United States. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, are arranged in rows, their expressions revealing a mix of curiosity, concentration, and shyness. The photograph was likely taken around 1899, during a time when the United States was undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. The image is a testament to the importance of education during this period, as well as the determination of these young girls to become teachers and make a difference in their communities. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, and was most likely taken using the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique of the time. The image is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the lives of young girls in Washington, D.C. during the late 19th century.
