EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Field-trip - school children outdoors listening to man," was taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century. The scene unfolds on a hillside in Washington D.C., where a group of schoolchildren from the 8th Division of the District of Columbia Public Schools are gathered for an educational outing. The children, both boys and girls, are attentively listening to a man, likely their teacher, who stands before them, delivering a lesson against the backdrop of rolling hills and a clear blue sky. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the simple joys of a day trip in the great outdoors. The image, which is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, is believed to have been taken around 1899. The use of natural light and the children's engaged expressions add to the timeless quality of this photograph.
