EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1926, showcases the stunning exterior of Dr. Charles William Richardson's house located in the prestigious neighborhood of Chevy Chase, Washington D.C. The house, which sits on 17 acres of land acquired by Amy (also Aimee) Small, the daughter of Washington, D.C. florist and landowner John Henry Small, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the 1920s country estate. The circular driveway, leading up to the house, is framed by an array of vibrant irises and other flowering plants, adding a burst of color to the lush, green lawn. The house itself, with its elegant columns and intricate detailing, stands proudly against the backdrop of the natural landscape. A serene pond, complete with an ornate urn, adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a leading figure in American photography and horticulture during the early 20th century, expertly captured the essence of this historic estate. The image, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of this unique piece of American heritage. The circular shape of the image, reminiscent of a panorama, invites the viewer to explore every detail of this breathtaking scene.
