This lantern slide image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the enchanting Chateau d'Usse in Rigny-Usse, Indre-et-Loire, France. The Chateau, dating back to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, is a stunning blend of architectural beauty and historical significance. The landscape, attributed to the famous French gardener André Le Nôtre, boasts a magnificent 17th century parterre garden adorned with vibrant orange trees. The Chateau d'Usse has long been a source of inspiration and fascination, with its intricate design and picturesque setting. In this hand-colored photograph, we see the Chateau from an elevated perspective, allowing us to fully appreciate its grandeur and the meticulous detail of the garden below. The orange trees, in full bloom, add a burst of color and life to the scene. The Chateau d'Usse has a rich history, with notable residents including the Count Louis de Blacas and Contesse Aliete de Dreux Breze de Blacas. The Chateau has also been celebrated in literature, most notably in Charles Perrault's fairy tale "Donkeyskin," which is said to be based on the Chateau's legends. This beautiful lantern slide image, taken over 90 years ago, remains a testament to the enduring allure of the Chateau d'Usse and the artistry of Frances Benjamin Johnston. It invites us to imagine a bygone era and to appreciate the beauty and history of this remarkable French landmark.
