Quiet Corner,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us to the picturesque Dublin and Hill Roads in Greenwich, Connecticut, circa 1920. The image showcases the elegant residence of John Wesley Baxter, designed by Benjamin William Morris for William Clyde Fitch and later enhanced by Baxter himself. This idyllic scene unfolds before us as we gaze upon the tranquil, hand-coloured image. The house, nestled amidst lush greenery, exudes an aura of serenity and refinement. The white walls, bathed in soft light, stand in stark contrast to the vibrant, colorful garden teeming with life. The garden, a work of art in itself, is adorned with a variety of flora, including roses, shrubs, and trees. The presence of a majestic peacock adds an element of surprise and delight, as it struts through the garden, its iridescent feathers shimmering in the sunlight. The photograph, taken from a distance, allows us to appreciate the intricacies of the walled garden and the architectural details of the house. The lantern-lit walls, a common feature of the era, add to the enchanting ambiance, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports us back in time. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and architectural historian, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to marvel at the beauty and charm of this Quiet Corner in Greenwich, Connecticut. The photograph, a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and garden design, continues to inspire and captivate us with its timeless appeal.
