EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1910s, documents the consecration of the choir and two chapels at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in Manhattan, New York. The Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic Revival architecture, is the largest cathedral in the United States and a prominent symbol of the Episcopal Church in America. The image captures a moment of solemnity and reverence as a group of men and women, dressed in their Sunday best, gather inside the hallowed space. The choir, resplendent in their robes, stands at the center, ready to lead the congregation in song. Two chapels, adorned with stained glass windows and intricate stonework, flank the choir, their consecration a testament to the enduring legacy of Christian faith in America. The photograph, taken during a time when the country was undergoing rapid modernization, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historic buildings and traditions. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering female photographer, captured not only the architectural beauty of the Cathedral but also the human element of the consecration ceremony. This image is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of photographic prints from the 1910s and 1920s, and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States.
