EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VIRGINIA: HAMPTON ROADS" takes us back to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the scenic harbor at Hampton Roads, Virginia. The image captures the essence of this historical maritime location as it looks towards the campus of Hampton Institute, a renowned historically black college. Photographed by Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished photographer of her time, this snapshot beautifully portrays the turn-of-the-century charm that characterized Hampton Roads. With its calm waters and ships dotting the horizon, one can almost feel the gentle breeze coming off the seashore. The inclusion of Hampton Institute in this photograph adds depth and significance to its narrative. As one of America's first historically black colleges, founded in 1868 after emancipation, it symbolizes hope and progress for African Americans seeking education during a challenging era. Frances Benjamin Johnston's keen eye for detail is evident in every element captured within this frame - from the architectural beauty of Hampton Institute's campus buildings to the bustling activity on land and sea. This print serves as a testament to her talent for capturing not only physical landscapes but also cultural moments that shaped American history. For admirers of both photography and history alike, "VIRGINIA: HAMPTON ROADS" offers an evocative window into a bygone era when Virginia's waterfront was alive with trade and educational opportunities flourished amidst societal challenges.
