One of the first American women to achieve prominence as a photographer, Frances Benjamin Johnston opened a studio in Washington, D.C., in 1890, carrying out portrait and photojournalism assignments. She entered into partnership with Mattie Edwards Hewitt, operating a New York City studio that specialized in architectural and garden photography, 1913-1917. Johnston began a series of systematic architectural field trips in 1927-29 with a privately commissioned survey of Fredersicksburg, Va., and Old Falmouth for Mrs. Daniel B. Devore "to preserve something of the atmosphere of an old Virginia town." A grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York extended the survey to cover the entire state of Virginia under sponsorship of the University of Virginia. Successive Carnegie grants totaled $26,000 to cover the other States under Library of Congress sponsorship. The American Institute of Architects honored Miss Johnston for her achievement in 1945. Johnston kept control of the negatives during her lifetime, but selective sets of prints were made for several libraries and museums.
