EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, captures a memorable moment during a field trip to the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. for the city's public schools. The image shows a group of boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, standing at the rostrum of the Old House of Representatives Chamber. The Old House, now part of the United States Capitol complex, was the original chamber of the House of Representatives from 1800 to 1857. The children, filled with excitement and wonder, are likely on a day out or a special educational excursion to learn about their nation's rich political history. The boys, with their neatly combed hair and collared shirts, and the girls, in their dresses and bonnets, embody the innocence and curiosity of youth. The photograph is a testament to the importance of education and the value of experiencing history firsthand. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this image using the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique during the late 19th century. Her work, which includes over 11,000 images, documents the architectural and social history of America. This photograph, with its historic setting and timeless charm, is a captivating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of American history.
