EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Harris & Ewing between 1914 and 1918, transports us back in time to the elegant parlor of Monticello, the iconic plantation home of Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States. The room, filled with understated affluence, is adorned with ornate furnishings, including an inviting armchair, a decorative chandelier, and heavy velvet curtains draped over the windows. The fireplace, with its intricately carved mantelpiece, adds a touch of warmth to the room. The parlor, also known as the drawing room, was a space for formal entertaining and quiet reflection. The room's interior design exudes a sense of timeless sophistication, with its high ceilings, ornate moldings, and intricate details. The large looking glass reflects the room's grandeur, adding depth and dimension to the image. This photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and elegance of Monticello during the early 20th century. The photograph, taken as a glass negative, has been carefully preserved, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of the room and the skill of the photographer. The Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photography studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century, known for its high-quality work and innovative techniques.
