EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "School Children and Three Terrapin, Washington, D.C. (1899?)", was taken by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image beautifully captures a group of schoolchildren interacting with three terrapin turtles during a field trip or day out in the nation's capital. The photograph is a testament to the educational opportunities available in the late 19th century United States, where children were encouraged to explore and learn about their natural world. The three terrapin turtles, native to the Chesapeake Bay region, were likely brought to the school for a hands-on learning experience, providing the children with an up-close encounter with aquatic life. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an influential figure in American photography and a pioneer in the field of architectural documentation, expertly captured the curiosity and excitement of the children as they examined the turtles. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the natural world in shaping the minds of young people. The image, which is believed to have been taken around 1899, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the lives of schoolchildren in the United States during the late 19th century. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring value as a record of American history.
