EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1920s, showcases the enchanting Vivian Spencer townhouse located on West 12th Street in New York City. The image, captured by Johnston's skilled lens and beautifully hand-colored by Marian Cruger Coffin, transports us back in time to the charm of the early 20th century. The townhouse, adorned with intricate brickwork and elegant detailing, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The lush, green garden, a serene oasis in the heart of the city, beckons with its inviting atmosphere. A colorful array of flowers, including roses and tulips, bloom in the garden, adding a pop of vibrancy against the muted tones of the brick and stone. A birdbath, nestled amongst the greenery, provides a refreshing respite for birds, while a trellis, adorned with climbing vines, adds a touch of whimsy and romance to the scene. The lawn, dotted with patches of shade created by tall trees, offers a tranquil setting for relaxation and reflection. The garden design, a testament to the beauty and elegance of the era, showcases the harmonious blend of nature and architecture. This photograph, a precious gem from the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of American garden design during the 1920s.
