Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Timeless Masterpiece of American Landscape Architecture This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, captures the breathtaking beauty of the Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York State, United States. The garden, designed by renowned landscape architects William Welles Bosworth and O.C. Simonds, is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the early 20th century. The image showcases the intricate design elements of the garden, including the balustrade and steps leading down to a serene pond, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The garden's architectural features, such as the balustrade and the steps, add a sense of grandeur and sophistication, while the natural elements, including the trees and plants, provide a sense of tranquility and harmony. The garden was commissioned by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist, who envisioned a public park that would be accessible to all. The garden was intended to be a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, a place where people could connect with nature and find solace. The photograph, which is a nitrate negative, is a valuable historical record of this important American landscape. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its cultural and historical significance. The garden continues to be a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for garden designers and enthusiasts around the world.
