EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, showcases a lively geology class at Washington, D.C.'s 6th Division public schools. The monochrome cyanotype print, a popular photographic process during this era, transports us back in time to an era of curiosity and discovery. The boys and girls in the class, dressed in their Sunday best, are intently focused on their geological studies. They are seated at individual desks, each equipped with a magnifying glass and various specimens, as their teacher, likely a woman, looks on approvingly. The children's expressions convey a sense of wonder and excitement as they explore the natural world around them. The classroom setting is adorned with maps, charts, and geological samples, all adding to the rich educational environment. The use of natural light streaming in through the windows adds to the overall ambiance of the scene, highlighting the connection between the children's studies and the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the importance of education during this era, and the dedication of educators like Frances Benjamin Johnston in capturing these moments in history. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of public education in America and the impact it has had on generations of students.
