EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the picturesque entrance to the flower garden of Pavilion Colombe in St. Brice, near Paris, France. The image offers a glimpse into the tranquil and elegant atmosphere of Edith Wharton's villa, which she named St. Brice-sous-Foret. Edith Newbold Jones Wharton, an accomplished writer and gardening enthusiast, had a profound appreciation for the beauty of French gardens. In the early 1920s, she purchased Pavilion Colombe as a retreat from her busy life in America. The property's gardens, designed by Johnston, were a source of inspiration for Wharton, who wrote about them in her book, "French Gardens." The photograph captures the symmetry and harmony of the garden's entrance, with its ornate gates and herbaceous border. The gates, adorned with intricate ironwork, frame the way in, leading the viewer into the lush, verdant expanse of the garden. The symmetrical design of the garden, a hallmark of French garden design, is evident in the balanced arrangement of the plants and the meticulously manicured borders. Johnston's gelatin silver print, taken during the 1920s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of French gardens and the beauty of the countryside near Paris. The peaceful scene, with its timeless charm, continues to captivate and inspire, inviting us to imagine the serenity and beauty that await beyond the garden gates.
