EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a rare glimpse into the interior of the White House's Old Green Room. The room is believed to be the President's study, adorned with exquisite architectural details that reflect ancient Greek influences. The focal point of this intriguing image is a table featuring a copy of the Diana of Gabii sculpture, an iconic representation of Artemis, the goddess of hunting and wilderness. This choice speaks volumes about both American appreciation for classical art and its connection to ancient Greece. The room itself exudes elegance and sophistication with its carefully curated furniture pieces and meticulously designed fireplace mantel. The grand chimneypiece serves as a majestic centerpiece while providing warmth during colder days. Lighting plays an essential role in illuminating this historic space, with light fittings strategically placed throughout the room. A large looking glass adds depth and reflects even more light into this already luminous environment. Preserved by unknown hands, this photograph from between 1860 and 1880 captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers insight into how interior decoration was approached during that era. It stands as a testament to America's rich heritage in artistry, architecture, and presidential history.
