EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1919, depicts the lively scene at Hartsdale Train Station in Hartsdale, Bronx, New York. The occasion was the annual "Floralia" or "Flower Fete," a popular five-acre event showcasing an exhibition of flowers, vegetables, and garden sculpture. The event was meticulously organized by Mrs. Charles Wellford Leavitt, with generous sponsorship from esteemed figures such as Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, James Fraser, and Frederick MacMonnies. The photograph captures the essence of the season, with women dressed in their finest summer attire, adorned with parasols and accessorized with elegant hats. The vibrant colors of the flowers and produce on display contrast beautifully with the monochromatic tones of the photograph. The garden party atmosphere is further emphasized by the lantern slide background, which adds a sense of whimsy and nostalgia. The "Floralia" was a cherished tradition in the United States during the early 20th century, and this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, entertainment, and cultural heritage of the time. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of garden parties and flower shows, which continue to be popular events in the United States and around the world.
