EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Reproduction of Pliny's Villa Plan, between 1915 and 1925 by Frances Benjamin Johnston 2. Description: This photograph showcases a reproduction of the plan of Pliny the Younger's villa and garden, located in the region of Tuscis, Umbria, Italy. The site is now known as Citta di Castello. The villa, a marvel of ancient Roman architecture, is depicted with meticulous detail, including various structures such as the Getatio, a walk around terrace, slopes adorned with forms of beasts in boxwood, and terraces. 3. Context: Pliny the Younger (Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus) was a renowned Roman author, magistrate, and natural philosopher. He wrote letters detailing his life in Rome and at his country villa in Laurentum and at his rural villa in Tuscis, Umbria. The villa in Umbria, also known as the Villa of Pliny or Villa Colle Plinio, is believed to have been built around the 1st century AD. 4. Creator: The reproduction of the plan was captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), an American photographer and landscape architect known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings in the United States. This particular plan was likely produced between 1915 and 1925. 5. Significance: This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the architectural and horticultural design of an ancient Roman villa, offering insights into the lifestyle and aesthetics of the Roman elite. The plan's reproduction is an essential historical record, preserving the legacy of Pliny's villa for future generations. 6. Provenance: This photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, specifically the Prints and Photographs Division, and is available as a lantern slide under the reference numbers 1910-1930, George Grantham Bain Collection.
