EDITORS COMMENTS
Biltmore House from the South Terrace," captured by renowned photographer William H. Jackson in approximately 1902, showcases the grandeur and elegance of one of America's most iconic country estates. Situated in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina, this photograph is a testament to the opulence of the Gilded Age. The image, taken from the south terrace of the estate, offers a captivating perspective of George Vanderbilt's Châteauesque mansion, which was inspired by the French Renaissance. The vast, sprawling house, with its red-roofed towers and intricate stonework, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The tranquil lily pond, nestled at the foot of the estate, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. This photograph, a dry plate negative, was taken during the early 20th century by William Henry Jackson, a prolific American photographer who documented the country's natural wonders and historic sites. Jackson's mastery of the medium is evident in the intricate details captured in this image, from the textured stonework to the delicate reflections on the water's surface. The Biltmore Estate, completed in 1895, was the largest private residence in America at the time and remains a popular tourist attraction today. This photograph, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to draw visitors from around the world. The Biltmore House from the South Terrace is a stunning example of the architectural and photographic artistry of the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of America's historic estates.
