EDITORS COMMENTS
Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Timeless Moment in American Leisure This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, transports us back to a bygone era of relaxation and simple pleasures. The setting is the beautiful Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The garden, a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts design, was created by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist. Three men, dressed in fashionable attire of the era, are seen taking a leisurely stroll through the garden. The man in the center, wearing a boater hat and a white suit, is believed to be William W. Bosworth, a well-known actor of the time. He is accompanied by two other men, one wearing a dark suit and the other in a light-colored outfit. The men's clothing, with its crisp lines and elegant details, speaks to the refined taste and sophistication of the period. The garden, with its lush greenery, colorful flowers, and ornate steps, provides a stunning backdrop for this moment in time. This photograph, a nitrate negative held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring beauty of American heritage and the simple joys of a day spent in nature. The men's relaxed demeanor and the tranquil setting invite us to pause and reflect on the timeless appeal of leisurely pursuits and the simple pleasures of a beautiful garden.
