EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured between 1880 and 1900, features Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), a pioneering American photographer, seated in profile at the left. The image is a group portrait of Johnston and 18 unidentified men, likely the jury for an exhibit of photographs in New York or Washington, D.C. Johnston, dressed in a formal, high-collared blouse and a large hat, exudes a sense of authority and confidence. The men, all dressed in suits and ties, gaze intently at the viewer or at each other, conveying a sense of seriousness and concentration. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a trailblazing photographer, known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings in the United States. She was a founding member of the Camera Club of Washington, D.C., and her work was exhibited at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. This group portrait may have been taken during one of the many photographic competitions or exhibitions in which she participated. The photograph, held in the collections of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography in the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the people and events that shaped the history of photography in the United States.
