EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from c1899 showcases the students of Hampton Institute engrossed in an agriculture laboratory. The image, captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston, beautifully combines oil painting techniques with photography to create a stunning visual representation of this educational moment. The photograph transports us back to the late 19th century, during the Reconstruction era in Virginia. It highlights the dedication and intelligence of African American students who were pursuing their education at Hampton Institute. In this particular classroom setting, young men can be seen diligently working on various agricultural research projects. The greenhouse-like environment is filled with vibrant greenery and botanical specimens, emphasizing the importance of botany and biology in their studies. This turn-of-the-century university provided vocational training for its students, equipping them with practical skills that would empower them in their future careers as workers or researchers. The image captures a pivotal moment in history when education was being embraced as a means to uplift communities and promote social progress. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of these African American pupils who sought knowledge despite facing significant challenges during this time period. Sarin Images / The Granger Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of academic history through their art print collection, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also the historical significance it holds within our collective memory.
