EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Trade school. Mechanical drawing," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1899 and 1900. The image portrays a group of male students engrossed in their studies at Hampton Institute, located in Hampton, Virginia, United States of America. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the students' focused expressions as they diligently work on their mechanical drawings at their desks. The room is filled with the quiet hum of learning, as these young men hone their skills in the field of mechanical engineering. The furniture in the room, including the simple wooden desks and chairs, adds to the historic charm of the scene. Hampton Institute, also known as Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was an important institution for African American education during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1868, the school provided education and training in various trades, including mechanical drawing, to formerly enslaved individuals and their descendants. This photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the legacy of Hampton Institute and the determination of its students to pursue an education and build a better future for themselves. The image also highlights the importance of mechanical drawing in the industrial age and the role it played in shaping the careers of many young men during this period.
