EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Red Room, White House, Washington, D.C. c1890," is an exquisite example of American interior design from the late 19th century. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, this monochrome image offers a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States. Located in Washington D.C., the Red Room is one of the most elegant and iconic spaces within the White House. The room's name derives from the deep red damask wallpaper that adorns its walls, which is complemented by the ornate gold trim and intricate woodwork. The room's furnishings, including the fireplace mantel and the tables, exude an air of opulence and sophistication. The photograph captures the Red Room in its full glory, with the large looking glass or mirror reflecting the room's grandeur and adding to the sense of spaciousness. The fireplace, with its ornate mantel and hearth, is the room's focal point, evoking images of cozy gatherings and important discussions that have taken place within its walls. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of historic sites and buildings in the United States. Her photographic prints from the period between 1880 and 1900 are highly sought after by collectors and historians for their unique insights into the country's architectural and cultural heritage. This photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal. The Red Room, with its timeless beauty and rich history, continues to captivate viewers and transport them back in time to a bygone era.
