George Barton French House, Southampton, New York, 1913: A Visual Feast of Garden Beauty and Architectural Elegance This photograph, titled "Darena," showcases the stunning George Barton French house located in Southampton, New York, in the year 1913. The creator of this masterpiece is the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. In 1914, George Barton French, a prominent figure in the art world as the former director of the Fine Arts of the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, became the proud owner of this beautiful estate. This image, taken by Johnston, offers an enchanting glimpse into the property's exquisite gardens and architectural splendor. The photograph reveals a lush, colorful garden filled with vibrant flowers, climbing plants, and trees. The garden design incorporates a reflecting pool, a hedge, and a pergola, all harmoniously blending with the natural beauty of the countryside. A sculpture adds a touch of artistic flair to the scene. The house itself, nestled amidst this floral paradise, boasts architectural elegance. The structure's clean lines and classical elements are accentuated by the contrasting colors and textures of the garden. A lantern-lit pathway leads the eye towards the house, adding a sense of mystery and allure. Frances Benjamin Johnston's keen eye for detail and her ability to capture the essence of a scene are evident in this hand-colored lantern slide from the 1910s. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress collection, serves as a testament to the rich heritage of American art and garden design during the 20th century. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the simple pleasures of nature and the elegance of architectural design came together to create a harmonious and beautiful living space. The legacy of Frances Benjamin Johnston and the George Barton French house in Southampton continues to inspire and captivate us today.
