EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1930 and 1939, captures the empty and quiet interior of Kittiewan, a historic plantation house located in the Weyanoke vicinity of Charles City County, Virginia. The image transports us back in time, showcasing the elegant 18th century architecture that once defined the American South. The room, adorned with panelled walls and a grand fireplace, exudes a sense of history and heritage. The absence of people and furnishings allows us to focus on the intricate details of the space, from the ornate fireplace mantel to the simple wooden lantern hanging in the corner. During the early 20th century, Kittiewan was owned by a landed gentry family, a testament to the region's rich agricultural history. The photograph serves as a reminder of the grandeur and sophistication of the plantation lifestyle that once thrived in the United States. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer and architectural historian, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of historic buildings in the United States. Her work, including this photograph, is now housed in the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and historians studying the architectural and cultural heritage of America's past.
