EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1920s, showcases an unidentified townhouse garden, likely located in either New York, New York, or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The scene is a delightful blend of urban and natural elements, as the townhouse's grand exterior is adorned with lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The climbing plant cascades up the brick wall, its tendrils reaching for the sun, while a colorful flowerbed and pots filled with blooms add a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic brick facade. A lantern and a pedestal with a small pot of flowers add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The intricate iron trellis, with its delicate leaves and scrollwork, frames the garden and adds a sense of intimacy and privacy. This image is a testament to the beauty and charm of country gardens in the city, and a reminder of the importance of nature in urban living during the 1920s. The Library of Congress holds this hand-colored lantern slide in its vast collection, a precious piece of American heritage and a window into the past.
