EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe between 1916 and 1918, showcases the entrance to the orangery of John D. Rockefeller's estate, Kijkuit, located in Pocantico Hills, Westchester County, New York State, USA. Designed by architect William Welles Bosworth, this magnificent structure is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the early 20th century American elite. The image captures the orangery's intricate stonework and the winding garden path leading up to it, shrouded in lush greenery. The orangery, a National Historic Landmark, was built to house citrus trees and other exotic plants that could not withstand the harsh winter weather. The estate, which was owned by John D. Rockefeller Jr., was a sprawling country retreat that covered over 1,000 acres. The photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress's collection, is a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance. The image's stark contrast between the dark, textured stones of the orangery and the light, airy garden path, creates a sense of depth and dimension. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the elegant world of America's Gilded Age. Arnold Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured this moment in time with great skill and artistry. His photograph is a valuable addition to the heritage of American architecture and landscape photography.
