EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 1910s, showcases the enchanting beauty of Graham Nichols house in Greenwich, Connecticut. The house, nestled amidst lush greenery and vibrant gardens, exudes an aura of tranquility and elegance. Johnston's keen eye for detail is evident in her meticulous hand-tinting of the photograph, which brings the rich colors of the garden to life. The herbaceous border, bursting with a riot of blooms, is a riot of color, with irises and other flowers adding a splash of vibrancy against the verdant backdrop of the trees. The garden design, a testament to the era's love for formal landscaping, is further enhanced by the presence of a sun dial and lantern, adding an element of whimsy and practicality. The trees, with their full canopies, provide dappled shade, creating a picturesque scene that transports us to a bygone era. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering figure in American photography and garden documentation, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the beauty and charm of America's heritage. This lantern slide, now part of the Library of Congress' collection, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and the role that gardens and nature play in our lives.
