EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1918, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, Lazio, Italy. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Rome, this historic estate is a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Italy. The Villa Aldobrandini is a medieval castle that underwent extensive renovations in 1663 and 1667, with notable contributions from the architects Carlo Maderno and Giacomo Della Porta. The castle's exterior, as depicted in this hand-coloured lantern slide, exudes an air of grandeur and elegance. The Baroque architecture is evident in the intricate details of the building's facade, from the ornate windows to the decorative columns. The photograph also captures the stunning gardens and grounds of the villa, which are adorned with lush trees and tree-lined paths. The tranquil rill, or water channel, adds to the serene atmosphere of the estate. The perspective of the photograph, with its meticulous framing and composition, invites the viewer to explore the beauty of this historic site. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph of Villa Aldobrandini is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of historic images. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the grandeur and beauty of Italian architecture and landscaping were at their peak. This photograph is a testament to Johnston's skill as a photographer and her ability to capture the essence of a place and preserve it for future generations to appreciate.
