EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fenimore," showcases the elegant James Stetson Metcalfe house located in Bedford Hills, New York, captured in 1921 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image presents a breathtaking view of the estate's exterior, with its red-roofed Tudor Revival mansion nestled amidst a lush, vibrant garden. The garden's designer is believed to be Elizabeth Tyree (Mrs. James S.) Metcalfe, who is seen in the photograph, likely overseeing her creations. The scene is filled with an array of colorful flowers, including roses, dahlias, and chrysanthemums, which add a pop of brilliance against the verdant foliage. The male figure in the image, wearing braces and a hat, adds a touch of human scale to the expansive property. The man, possibly a gardener or groundskeeper, is seen working diligently, tending to the plants and ensuring their health and beauty. The Fenimore estate, located in Westchester County, New York, is a testament to the grandeur of American country living during the 1920s. The photograph, taken from the Library of Congress collection, is a stunning example of Johnston's mastery of landscape photography and her ability to capture the essence of a place and time. The image, hand-colored in the 1920s or 1930s, is a valuable piece of heritage art that transports us back to a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a time long past.
