EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, captures the serene beauty of a pool nestled in the lush garden of George F. Baker's estate in Tuxedo, New York. The image transports us back in time to the elegant era of country living in the United States. George Fisher Baker (1854-1933), a prominent businessman and philanthropist, was a resident of Tuxedo Park, a prestigious community in Livingston County, New York. Baker's estate, with its exquisite gardens, was a testament to his refined taste and appreciation for the natural world. In the photograph, the pool, with its crystal-clear water reflecting the blue sky, is the focal point of the image. Surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, the pool appears as a tranquil oasis, inviting relaxation and rejuvenation. The garden design, with its meticulously placed plants and trees, showcases the artistry of landscape gardening in the early 20th century. Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952), a pioneering American photographer, captured the essence of Baker's estate with her keen eye for detail and her ability to convey the timeless beauty of nature. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of American country living during the 1910s.
