EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1897, showcases an enchanting view of the White House located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The architectural masterpiece, designed primarily by James Hoban and later enhanced by various other architects including Pierre Charles L'Enfant, Thomas Jefferson, and Ulysses S. Grant, exudes a sense of historical grandeur. The White House, a symbol of American heritage, was first occupied by President John Adams in 1800. In this image, we can see the house's elegant exterior adorned with intricate details, including the iconic columned portico and the obelisk at its center. The landscape, which underwent significant changes during the Grant administration, features a beautiful flower bed and a drinking fountain, adding to the picturesque scene. The White House, surrounded by lush greenery and framed by the vibrant colors of the flower bed, stands proudly against the backdrop of Pennsylvania Avenue. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1890 and 1910, showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Frances Benjamin Johnston brought to her work. This historic image, now preserved in the Library of Congress, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich architectural and cultural history of the United States.
