EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, captures the enchanting beauty of Pavilion Colombe, the villa of the esteemed American author Edith Wharton, located in the picturesque village of St. Brice-sous-Forêt in Val-d'Oise, France. The image showcases the villa's charming facade, adorned with ivy and flowers, as it sits nestled among the lush greenery of the garden. The garden, filled with vibrant flower beds and trellises, adds to the idyllic setting, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. Edith Wharton, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, spent her later years in France, escaping the hustle and bustle of her native United States. She purchased Pavilion Colombe in 1911 and transformed the property into a tranquil retreat, where she wrote some of her most beloved works, including "The Age of Innocence" and "Twilight Sleep." Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prolific photographer and architectural historian, documented the historic buildings and gardens of America and Europe throughout the early 20th century. Her photograph of Pavilion Colombe is a testament to the enduring allure of Wharton's villa and the breathtaking gardens that surrounded it.
