EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Garden with a Japanese waterfall and a stone lantern, possibly belonging to A.W. Bahr," is a stunning example of the artistic vision of renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. Taken between 1917 and 1934, this image captures the serene beauty of a Japanese-inspired garden in the United States. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Eastern aesthetics in American culture during the 1910s and 1920s. The image showcases a tranquil waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff, creating a soothing sound that adds to the peaceful ambiance of the scene. The waterfall feeds into a clear, still pond, reflecting the surrounding greenery and the lantern's soft glow. The lantern, perched atop a moss-covered rock, casts a gentle light over the water, creating a mystical atmosphere. The garden's natural elements are artfully arranged, with carefully placed rocks and meticulously pruned foliage. The scene is reminiscent of the traditional Japanese garden, with its emphasis on harmony between nature and human design. The image is a nitrate negative, a photographic process that was popular during the early 20th century. This photograph is believed to have been taken at the residence of Abel William Bahr, an American businessman and art collector. The exact location of the garden is unknown, but the image is a valuable addition to the rich cultural heritage of American photography. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress and is a testament to the enduring allure of the Japanese garden and the art of photography.
