EDITORS COMMENTS
Middleton Place," located at 4300 Ashley River Road in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historic estate renowned for its stunning gardens and the John Julius Pringle Smith house. The photograph, taken in 1928 by Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the essence of this beautiful plantation. The house, a 1755 guest quarters converted into the family residence, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery and the serene Ashley River. The original house was burned during the Civil War in 1865, but the gardens, first planted in 1791 by Henry Middleton, were restored in the 1920s by John Julius Pringle Smith, a Middleton descendant, and his wife Heningham Ellett. The landscape in the photograph is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the Carolinas. The shade provided by the towering trees, draped in Spanish moss, creates a cool and tranquil atmosphere. The Tillandsia usneoides, commonly known as Spanish moss, adds a unique texture to the image, making it a quintessential representation of the region's natural beauty. The riverbank, with its gentle curve and the reflection of the trees in the water, adds to the picturesque scene. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and garden designer, captured this moment in time, preserving the history and charm of Middleton Place for future generations. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the natural beauty that surrounds us.
