EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1917 and 1927, captures the elegant side view of Miramar, a neoclassical mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island. Designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer, Miramar was commissioned by Eleanor Elkins Widener and her husband George Widener. Tragically, George perished aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912. Following his death, Eleanor married geographer and explorer Alexander H. Rice Jr., and Miramar became their summer residence. The image showcases the house's grandeur, with its intricate architectural details, including a balustrade, awning, and blinds. The terrace, adorned with potted trees, adds to the estate's picturesque beauty. The Miramar mansion, a testament to the opulence of the era, stands proudly against the backdrop of the lush greenery and blue skies. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prominent American photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving the legacy of Miramar for future generations. Her photograph, now held at the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the heritage art and architectural records of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s.
