Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Vision of Curvilinear Beauty in Yonkers, New York This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The image, held in the prestigious Library of Congress, showcases the garden's unique blend of architecture and landscape, with its curved amphitheater and playhouse nestled amidst lush greenery. The garden, a masterpiece of the early 20th century, was the creation of Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist. The design, inspired by the Alhambra in Spain, features a series of curving walls, terraces, and seating areas, all designed to enhance the natural beauty of the garden and provide a serene setting for reflection and relaxation. Genthe's photograph, taken using a nitrate negative, captures the garden in its prime, with the curved amphitheater and playhouse standing proud against the backdrop of the rolling hills and trees. The image, a testament to the garden's enduring charm, has lost none of its allure over the decades, continuing to inspire awe and wonder in all who behold it. The garden, a public park open to all, remains a cherished piece of American heritage, a reminder of a bygone era when the beauty of nature was celebrated and preserved for future generations to enjoy. This photograph, a still image frozen in time, offers a glimpse into that world, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and scents that once filled the air in this magical place.
