EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, depicts a group of public school children from Washington, D.C., as they eagerly gaze at bears in their enclosure at the National Zoo. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are filled with a sense of wonder and curiosity as they observe the majestic animals up close. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time, when a day out to the zoo was a rare treat for urban schoolchildren. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the educational value of such experiences and the enduring connection between people and animals. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering female photographer, expertly captured this moment of interaction between the children and the bears, showcasing their inquisitive nature and the beauty of the natural world.
