EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the luxurious bathroom of Phoebe Apperson Hearst's residence at 1400 New Hampshire Avenue NW in Washington, D.C. Phoebe, a philanthropist, feminist, and suffragist, was the widow of George Hearst and a significant figure in American society during this era. The image reveals a spacious bathroom adorned with elegant marble and intricate tiling. The centerpiece of the room is a large rectangular bathtub, surrounded by a tiled basin and ornate fixtures. Phoebe, a pioneer in interior design and decoration, undoubtedly appreciated the beauty and sophistication of her bathroom, a testament to her refined taste. Phoebe's accomplishments extended beyond her home. She was a co-founder of the National Parent-Teacher Association and established the University of California Museum of Anthropology. Her influence reached far beyond the walls of her residence, shaping the educational and cultural landscape of her country. This photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a rare glimpse into the opulent interiors of a bygone era, while also highlighting the remarkable achievements of a trailblazing American woman.
