EDITORS COMMENTS
Hickory Hill," located in Ashland, Virginia, is a stunning historical estate captured in this beautiful 1927 photograph by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases the Colonel Henry Taylor Wickham house, which was originally part of the larger Shirley Plantation. The house itself is believed to have been built around 1875, while the landscape design, featuring tree-lined paths and picturesque trees, was begun in 1820 by William Fanning and his wife, Mary (Mrs. William F.) Wickham. The photograph, taken during the 1920s, showcases the rich agricultural heritage of the United States with the lush, green landscape and the serene atmosphere of the estate. The background is dotted with people, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. The perspective of the photograph, with the house set against the backdrop of the trees, highlights the beauty and grandeur of the estate. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, is a testament to the artistic skill and dedication of Frances Benjamin Johnston. Her ability to capture the essence of the estate and its history is evident in this image. The photograph is now part of the Library of Congress's collection and serves as an important historical record of American heritage and the architectural and landscape design of the past. The tree-lined paths and the tree-lined avenue leading up to the house add to the beauty and charm of the estate, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in American history and architecture. The photograph is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that can be found in the United States and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
