EDITORS COMMENTS
named after its owner, Albert Herter, is a captivating image of the elegant drawing room in his summer residence, located at Georgica Pond in East Hampton, New York. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1913, offers a glimpse into the refined and sophisticated lifestyle of the early 20th century American elite. The room is filled with exquisite decorative elements, including a large, ornate fireplace adorned with intricate carvings, a cabinet and a cupboard displaying fine china and glassware, and a wicker chair with a cozy, patterned rug beneath it. The room is bathed in soft, natural light, streaming in through the large windows and casting a warm glow on the polished wooden furniture. The centerpiece of the room is a large, mahogany table, complete with a decorative lamp, a linen press, and a painting above it. The table is set with an array of fine tableware, adding to the sense of opulence and grandeur. The room's interior design is a testament to the high standards of taste and refinement that were prized during this era. The photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and influential Americans who summered in the Hamptons over a century ago. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, one marked by elegance, sophistication, and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.
