Quiet Corner,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us to the serene Dublin and Hill Roads in Greenwich, Connecticut, circa 1920. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases the picturesque estate of John Wesley Baxter. The view from the terrace is framed by an ornate iron trellis dome, leading our gaze towards a circular garden temple nestled among lush greenery. The tranquil scene is further enhanced by the presence of a fountain, its water reflecting the sky and the surrounding foliage. Palm trees, potted and otherwise, add a touch of exotic allure to the otherwise quintessentially American setting. The symmetry of the garden design, with its carefully placed potted plants and ornamental pond, speaks to the meticulous care and attention given to this idyllic retreat. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and architectural recordist, masterfully captured the essence of this secluded corner, encapsulating the beauty and charm of a bygone era. The photograph invites us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of nature, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This timeless image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of gardens and the role they play in nurturing our souls.
