EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, depicts a class of eager students from the Washington, D.C. public schools, 1st Division, engaged in an intriguing geometric exercise. The boys and girls, seated at their desks, are intently focused on creating intricate paper forms using simple tools and their dexterity. The image, reminiscent of cyanotypes from the 1890s to the early 1900s, transports us back in time to an era of innovative education. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering educator and photographer, captured this moment in history, showcasing the students' concentration and enthusiasm for learning. The classroom setting, filled with wooden desks and furniture, adds to the historical context of the image. The concept of teaching geometry through origami-like activities was a progressive approach to mathematics education during this period. This photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American education and the dedication of its educators. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of students in Washington, D.C., over a century ago. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
