EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Calisthenics or dance class, outdoors, 3rd Division" (circa 1899), was captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The scene unfolds in the United States, most likely in Washington D.C., as indicated by the District of Columbia in the caption. The photograph showcases a group of boys and girls engaged in physical education, likely practicing calisthenics or dance moves, outdoors in the fresh air. The children, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, display a sense of focus and determination as they balance and move in unison. The boys wear short pants and collared shirts, while the girls don long dresses and bonnets. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the importance of physical education in the late 19th century. The photograph was most likely taken using the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique during this time. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for understanding the history and heritage of American education and childhood.
