EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, created between 1927 and 1929 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the picturesque Belmont estate located in Falmouth, Stafford County, Virginia. The estate's focal point is the late 18th-century house, which was purchased by artist Julius Gari Melchers in 1916. Melchers later added various architectural elements to the property. The image captures the harmonious blend of the historic house with its lush, 20th-century landscaping. The serene garden setting is adorned with cherubs and putti, adding an angelic and charming touch to the scene. The colorful concept is further enhanced by the addition of vibrant, hand-colored elements. Gari Melchers and his wife, Corinne Mackall Melchers, are depicted in the scene, enjoying the beauty of their estate. The image transports us back to the 1920s, a time of elegance and grace, as we witness the tranquil atmosphere of Belmont. This still image, now part of the Library of Congress's collection, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American art and history. The combination of the historic house, landscaped grounds, and the presence of the Melchers family makes this image a true treasure.
