EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Barber House ('Belmont') Washington, D.C. 1890s," is a stunning example of the elegant interior design of the late 19th century in the United States. The photograph was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston during the 1890s. The image showcases the bedroom of Amzi Lorenzo Barber's mansion, located in Washington, D.C., which is now known as 'Belmont.' The Queen Anne style house, designed by architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler Jr., is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. The room is adorned with a large, ornate bed, complete with a decorative canopy and intricately carved headboard. A matching desk and chair sit in the corner, adding to the sense of refinement and order. The room is bathed in soft, natural light, which filters in through the large windows, casting a warm glow on the furniture and the cyanotype print on the wall. The photograph is a valuable historical record, providing a glimpse into the interior design trends and aesthetic preferences of the time. It is also a testament to the skill and artistry of Frances Benjamin Johnston, who captured the essence of the space with her camera. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, which includes over 11,000 images of historic buildings and interiors in the United States. It is a valuable resource for historians, architects, and designers, offering insights into the rich architectural and design heritage of America.
