Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Timeless Masterpiece of American Landscape Design This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, captures the breathtaking beauty and elegance of the Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York State, United States. The garden, a masterpiece of landscape design, was created by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist, who envisioned it as a public park for the enjoyment of all. The image showcases the garden's stunning architectural features, including a balustrade that frames the edge of a serene pond, and the intricate detailing of the balustrade's columns. The garden's geographical location is also highlighted, with the natural beauty of the surrounding trees and plants, and the tranquil water reflecting the sky above. The photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress' collection, is a nitrate negative, a testament to the enduring quality of Genthe's work. The image is reminiscent of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature and the beauty of architectural design were cherished. The garden's designer, William Welles Bosworth, was a leading figure in American landscape architecture, and his influence can be seen in the meticulous planning and execution of every detail in this photograph. The garden's design is a blend of formal and informal elements, creating a harmonious balance between nature and architecture. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Arnold Genthe and Samuel Untermyer, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural and natural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
