EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hearst House, 1400 N.H. Ave, 1889. Carriage in Front," is an enduring testament to the grandeur and elegance of the late 19th century in America. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this image beautifully captures the exterior of the Hearst Mansion, located on New Hampshire Avenue in the heart of Washington D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood. The mansion, home to Phoebe Apperson Hearst, is a stunning example of architectural design, featuring arched windows, intricate detailing, and a stately facade. The photograph's composition is further enhanced by the inclusion of a horse-drawn carriage, adding a sense of movement and activity to the scene. The lone figure of a man, dressed in formal attire, adds a touch of human interest to the image. Phoebe Apperson Hearst, an influential socialite and philanthropist, was a prominent figure in Washington D.C. society during this time. Born in New Hampshire in 1842, she married George Hearst, a mining magnate, in 1864. After her husband's death in 1891, she moved to Washington D.C. and became a patron of the arts and education. This photograph, taken in 1889, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of horse-drawn carriages, elegant mansions, and the social and cultural landscape of late 19th century America. The image is a valuable addition to the rich historical record held by the Library of Congress and a reminder of the legacy of Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer who captured the essence of America's past.
