EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952) is seen standing beside her large view camera, gazing intently towards the magnificent Biltmore Estate mansion in the background. The image, captured around 1938, offers a rare glimpse into the world of a pioneering female photographer during the Gilded Age in America. Johnston, an influential figure in the realm of photography and journalism, is known for her extensive documentation of historic houses and buildings across the United States. Here, she is depicted in her element, with her back to the camera, adjusting the focus of her large format camera mounted on a sturdy tripod. The serene waters of a nearby lake reflect the grandeur of the Biltmore Estate, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The photograph transports us back to the 1930s, a time when the country was transitioning from the 19th to the 20th century. The Biltmore Estate, a symbol of the opulence and grandeur of the Gilded Age, stands proudly in the background, showcasing the rich architectural heritage of the Carolinas, United States. The image is a testament to Johnston's dedication to preserving the history and beauty of America's built environment. This evocative image, captured in the heart of the 20th century, is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of historical photographs. It encapsulates the spirit of exploration, discovery, and the enduring allure of America's architectural and cultural heritage.
