EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking Chateau of Vaux-Le-Vicomte located in Maincy, Seine-et-Marne, France. The chateau, built for the powerful finance minister Nicolas Fouquet by the architect Louis le Vau from 1656, is a magnificent example of 17th-century French architecture. The surrounding landscape, designed by the famous landscape architect André Le Nôtre in 1653-1654, features a symmetrical parterre garden, a vanishing point perspective, and intricately designed water features. The garden was later enhanced by Elie Laine in the 19th century and Achille Duchene in 1911-1923. Johnston's hand-tinted lantern slide presents the chateau and its gardens in vibrant colors, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of this historic estate. The image, part of the Library of Congress collection, invites us to travel back in time and experience the beauty and charm of this iconic French landmark. The Chateau of Vaux-Le-Vicomte, with its stunning architecture and meticulously designed gardens, continues to be a major tourist attraction and an enduring symbol of French heritage and cultural history.
