EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Barber House ('Belmont') Washington, D.C. between ca.1890 and ca.1900," is a stunning example of the elegant interior design of the late 19th century in the United States. Taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image showcases the parlor of Amzi Lorenzo Barber's mansion, located in Washington, D.C. The Queen Anne-style Barber House, also known as 'Belmont,' is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the era. The parlor, adorned with ornate furniture and intricate interior decoration, exudes an air of grandeur and refinement. The room is filled with an eclectic mix of furniture, including a large table with ornate legs and intricate carvings, and several chairs with plush upholstery. The chandelier suspended from the ceiling adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, casting a warm glow over the space. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer and documentarian of American architecture and history, captured this image using the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique of the late 19th century. The resulting monochromatic image highlights the intricate details of the parlor, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the space. The Library of Congress, through its Prints and Photographs Division, holds this photograph as part of its extensive collection of historical images. It serves as a valuable record of the country's architectural and design heritage, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
