Untermyer Garden, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases the breathtaking beauty of the Untermyer Garden located in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York State, United States. The garden, designed by William Welles Bosworth and completed in 1911, was a masterpiece of landscape architecture and a testament to the opulence of the early 20th century. The photograph captures the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the garden, with its intricately designed pagoda, majestic pillars, and crystal-clear pond reflecting the surrounding greenery. The garden's unique layout, which incorporated various geographical features, including a hillside, a ravine, and a water surface, added to its allure. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, expertly captured the essence of the Untermyer Garden in this timeless image. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress. The image's monochromatic color palette, reminiscent of the 1910s, adds to its vintage charm and makes it a must-see for anyone interested in American heritage art, landscape photography, or the history of garden design. The Untermyer Garden, a public park, was once the pride of Yonkers and a popular destination for visitors from all over the country. Today, it stands as a reminder of a bygone era, a time when opulence and beauty were intertwined in the heart of nature. This photograph by Arnold Genthe is a window into that past, a glimpse into a time when gardens were more than just a place for relaxation, but a symbol of wealth and status.
