EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of early 20th century gardening in Rhode Island. The image showcases a skilled gardener meticulously tending to the vibrant flowers that adorn the Beacon Hill House, owned by Arthur Curtiss James in Newport. Taken in 1917 by Benjamin Frances Johnston, this sepia-toned print transports us back in time to witness the beauty and dedication involved in maintaining such an exquisite garden. The gardener's presence adds a human touch to the scene, as he carefully tends to each flower with expertise and care. His hands are adorned with dirt and his face shows signs of hard work under the sun. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the artistry of gardening during this era. The Beacon Hill House itself stands tall and proud, showcasing its architectural elegance against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its exterior design reflects both sophistication and charm, making it an iconic landmark within Newport's landscape. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this piece of history from their collection, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind Johnston's photography but also gain insight into early American gardening practices. This print serves as a reminder of our connection with nature through horticulture while highlighting Rhode Island's rich cultural heritage.
