EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Residence of Mrs. Olgivie, Biltmore Forest, North Carolina, 1932 May," is a stunning architectural image captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image transports us back to the 1930s in the United States, specifically to Buncombe County, North Carolina, where the beautiful mansion house of Mrs. Olgivie stands proudly. The Residence is a grandiose structure, with its white exterior adorned with intricate architectural features, including balconies, balustrades, and a terrace. The mansion's design seamlessly blends into the natural surroundings, with trees and tree tops visible in the background, creating a harmonious balance between man-made structures and nature. The image was taken in May 1932, and the use of nitrate negative film adds to the vintage feel of the photograph. The black and white palette highlights the textures of the building's exterior, from the intricate details of the balustrades to the rough bark of the trees. The photograph's composition is thoughtfully planned, with the mansion's balcony and tree branches creating a dynamic diagonal line that leads the viewer's eye through the image. The image is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the past, and a reminder of the rich architectural heritage that continues to inspire us today. The "Residence of Mrs. Olgivie, Biltmore Forest, North Carolina, 1932 May" is a still image from the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical photographs that document the history and culture of the United States. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply appreciating the beauty of the past.
