Key item features

  • Title: Machinery Ahead Of Art - The Portrait Taker - The Portrait Painter, circa 1888
  • Description: Cartoon from newspaper(?) portraying photographer as being well-to-do and painter as being poverty-stricken.
  • Collection: Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection. Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952) was one of the first American women to achieve prominence as a photographer. Trained at the Academie Julian in Paris, she studied photography upon her return to Washington, D.C., in the mid-1880s and opened a professional studio circa 1890. Her family’s social position gave Johnston access to the First Family and leading Washington political figures and launched her career as a photojournalist and portrait photographer. Johnston turned to garden and estate photography in 1910s. Images in the collection span the period 1850-1949, but the majority date between 1897 and 1927.
