EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Woodworking class, Washington, D.C. (1899?)', is an enchanting glimpse into the past, captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, where a group of eager schoolboys are engrossed in their woodworking project at their workbenches. The classroom setting is located in Washington, D.C., and the boys, dressed in collared shirts and suspenders, are intently focused on their tasks, using various hand tools such as saws and planes. The photograph is a testament to the importance of manual skills and hands-on education during this era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an influential educator and historian, documented this scene with her camera, capturing the essence of the learning process and the determination of these young students. The image is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, and is a valuable addition to the heritage of American history. The use of monochrome in the photograph adds to its timeless appeal, making it a captivating piece of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers.
