EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edith C. Westcott, published by the B.F. Johnston Publishing Company in 1900, is a visual representation of the educational advancements for women and children during the early 20th century in America. The cover of this educational pamphlet, captured in this photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases two women dressed in academic apparel. The young woman on the left proudly holds her diploma, symbolizing her achievement, while the young girl on the right engrossed in a book, represents the pursuit of knowledge. Edith C. Westcott, an educator, authored the content of this pamphlet, which focused on various subjects including arithmetic. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned photographer, documented these scenes from life to accompany Westcott's text. This particular image is from the Arithmetic section, number 2, of the series. The cover design reflects the feminist ideals of the time, emphasizing the importance of education for women and girls. The young women are dressed in traditional academic attire, including mortarboards and gowns, signifying their scholarly pursuits. The use of graphic design elements, such as the bold typography and the contrasting colors, adds to the visual appeal of the cover. This photograph is a testament to the significant strides made in education during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in America. It is a reminder of the importance of literacy and the role education plays in shaping the future generations. The Library of Congress holds a collection of these pamphlets, preserving this piece of American heritage for future generations to study and learn from.
