EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1905, we find Gertrude Kasebier, a pioneering figure in American photography, standing next to her tripod-mounted plate camera. The image captures Kasebier in her element, dressed in a long skirt and blouse, her expression focused and determined as she prepares to take a photograph. Behind her, an unidentified man stands, his presence a reminder of the collaborative nature of photography during this era. The man's positioning suggests that he may be assisting Kasebier, perhaps adjusting the focus or preparing the chemicals for developing the image. The photograph was taken during a time when photography was still a relatively new and evolving technology, and Kasebier was at the forefront of its artistic application. She is best known for her portraits and images of women and children, which often explored themes of motherhood, childhood, and the passage of time. The setting of the photograph is not identified, but the image exudes a sense of quiet, rural America. The landscape behind Kasebier is barren and open, with the sun casting long shadows across the ground. The image is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time, and to preserve it for future generations. Frances Benjamin Johnston, who took this photograph, was also a prominent figure in American photography and documentary photography. She is known for her work documenting historic sites and buildings across the United States, and her photographs are an important record of American history and culture. This image of Gertrude Kasebier is a rare glimpse into the world of early 20th century photography, and a reminder of the important contributions made by women in this field.
