EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Street with Caroline Restout roses, Portland, Oregon, 1923," captures the charm and beauty of a bygone era in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston during the 1920s, the image transports us back to a time when the simple pleasures of nature were cherished and celebrated. The scene unfolds on a quiet street in Portland, Oregon, where the aroma of Caroline Restout roses wafts through the air. Named after a prominent Portland horticulturist, these roses were a popular variety in the early 20th century. In the photograph, we see a row of trees lining the street, their branches adorned with the full bloom of these exquisite roses. The vibrant pink and white petals contrast beautifully against the gray tones of the street and the sky, creating a stunning visual effect. Johnston's expert use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, while the inclusion of a lantern in the foreground adds a sense of nostalgia and intrigue. The photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the importance of preserving our heritage. It is a reminder that even in the midst of urban life, there is always room for the simple pleasures of a rose garden. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture. Johnston's work as a photographer and architectural recordist has left an indelible mark on our collective memory, providing us with a window into the past and a reminder of the beauty and richness of our heritage.
