EDITORS COMMENTS
the magnificent Moses Taylor Pyne house located at 354 Stockton Road in Princeton, New Jersey, was captured in this stunning hand-colored lantern slide photograph taken in 1911. The image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the Italianate-style mansion's architectural beauty and picturesque gardens. The residence, which serves as the official residence of the governor of New Jersey, boasts an impressive balustrade stairway adorned with ivy, leading to a terrace that overlooks the meticulously designed gardens. The gardens themselves are a feast for the eyes, featuring a variety of plants, urns, and a charming grotto. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering figure in American architecture and landscape gardening, expertly captured the essence of this historic property through her artful composition and exquisite hand-coloring techniques. The resulting image transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the grandeur of "Drumthwacket" and the natural beauty of its surroundings. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and the enduring allure of the gardens of Princeton, New Jersey. The intricate details of the balustrade, the vibrant colors of the plants, and the serene atmosphere of the scene are all masterfully preserved in this image. As we admire the beauty of "Drumthwacket" through the lens of Frances Benjamin Johnston's camera, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our nation's architectural and horticultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
