EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "White House - long corridor used for State Dinner, 1898," is an enduring testament to the grandeur and history of the United States presidential residence. Taken by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th century, this image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and opulence. The photograph depicts a long, ornate corridor adorned with garlands and flowers, leading to the State Dining Room of the White House. The room itself is filled with an impressive collection of dining tables, each set with fine china, crystal, and silverware, ready for a grand State Dinner. The tables are laden with delectable dishes, adding to the overall ambiance of extravagance and refinement. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, captured this image using the cyanotype process, a popular photographic technique of the time. Her meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey the essence of her subjects made her a leading figure in the documentation of American architecture and heritage. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the White House and the role it plays as the official residence of the President of the United States. The corridor, with its beautiful floral decorations and elegant furniture, serves as the perfect backdrop for the grand State Dinners that have taken place within these walls for over a century.
