Cliveden: A 1920s American Connection to an English Country Estate This photograph, taken in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Cliveden, the historic house located in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, England. The image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of this iconic country estate. Cliveden, a masterpiece of 19th-century architecture, was designed by Sir Charles Barry and built between 1850 and 1851. The estate's landscape, featuring a serene pond and picturesque gardens, was transformed by William Waldorf Astor from 1893 and later by Norah Lindsay from 1924. In 1925, the estate was owned by Nancy Langhorne Astor and her husband, Viscount Waldorf Astor. Nancy, an American socialite and politician, was the first female Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom, while her husband, Willy, was a prominent American businessman and publisher. The hand-coloured photograph reveals the stunning detail of the house's architecture, with its intricate stonework, grand columns, and elegant pavilion. The surrounding gardens, with their vibrant flowers, meticulously manicured hedges, and tranquil pond, add to the estate's allure. This photograph, part of the Library of Congress's collection, transports us back to the 1920s, a time of opulence and glamour. Cliveden, with its rich history and stunning beauty, continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the enduring allure of English country houses.
