EDITORS COMMENTS
Magnolia Plantation, located at 3550 Ashley River Road in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic site steeped in American history and natural beauty. Captured in this stunning 1928 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the plantation's iconic house stands proudly amidst lush gardens and a serene lake. The house, which was moved from Somerville, South Carolina after the Civil War, is just a small part of the Magnolia Plantation's rich history. Founded in 1679 by Thomas Drayton, Magnolia-on-the-Ashley, as it was first known, has been a significant part of the American landscape for over three centuries. The gardens, adorned with vibrant flowers and draped in Spanish moss, have been a source of inspiration for garden designers and nature lovers alike. The swampy terrain, teeming with Tillandsia usneoides, or Spanish moss, adds to the plantation's unique character. The Reverend John Grimke Drayton, who lived on the property in the 1840s, is credited with the initial development of the gardens. Today, Magnolia Plantation is a National Register of Historic Places site and a popular tourist attraction. Visitors come from near and far to explore the gardens, learn about the plantation's history, and take in the natural beauty of the Carolina lowcountry. This hand-coloured lantern slide, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past and showcases the timeless allure of Magnolia Plantation. The image, with its vibrant colours and intricate details, invites us to imagine the stories that unfolded on this historic property over the centuries.
