This lantern slide, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the 1920s, presents an enchanting image of an unidentified city garden, most likely located in New York, New York. The vibrant and colorful scene transports us back in time to the Twenties, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the United States. Johnston, a pioneering figure in American garden documentation and landscape gardening, expertly captures the essence of this hidden urban oasis. The garden is adorned with an array of lush, blooming flowers and plants, their colors popping against the verdant backdrop of the foliage. The garden design features a winding walkway, leading the viewer through the lush greenery, and a quaint tree-lined border. The garden's serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a traditional lantern, casting a warm and inviting glow over the scene. The intricate flowerbeds, meticulously tended to, add to the sense of order and harmony within this urban retreat. This evocative image, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and charm of a bygone era. The garden serves as a reminder of the importance of nature and greenery, even in the heart of a bustling city. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1920 and 1930, is a testament to Johnston's skill and dedication to capturing the essence of America's gardens and landscapes.
