EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bedroom with fireplace, padded chaise longue, window, and polar bear rug," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1908. The image showcases the elegant interior of the Conyers Farm estate, located in Greenwich, Connecticut. The estate, designed by architect Donn Barber in 1904, was the residence of businessman Edmund C. Converse. The photograph showcases the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the bedroom. The fireplace, with its ornate mantelpiece, crackles with warmth, casting a gentle glow on the room. The padded chaise longue, positioned near the window, invites relaxation and contemplation. The large window, adorned with heavy drapes, allows natural light to filter in, creating a serene ambiance. The polar bear rug, a striking addition to the room, adds a touch of exoticism and adventure. The use of animal hides and furs in interior decoration was a popular trend during the early 1900s, reflecting the growing interest in collecting endangered species. The rug, with its lifelike representation of the polar bear, is a testament to this fascination. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the wealthy elite during the 1910s in America. The intricate details of the furniture, the use of natural light, and the thoughtful placement of decorative elements all contribute to the timeless beauty of this image. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American architectural and cultural history.
