EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the elegant interior of the Washington, D.C. home of Phoebe Apperson Hearst. Widow of George Hearst and a prominent philanthropist, feminist, and suffragist, Phoebe was a trailblazer in her time. She founded the University of California Museum of Anthropology and co-founded the National Parent-Teacher Association. In this image, we see a cozy and refined setting, with the focus on the fireplace, which serves as the focal point of the room. The fireplace mantel is adorned with an altarpiece bearing a reproduction of Raphael's Sistine Madonna, surrounded by Russian icons. The table in front of the fireplace is set for a tea ceremony, adding to the inviting atmosphere. The intricate details of the fireplace and the art pieces showcase the sophistication and taste of Mrs. Hearst. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer in documenting American architecture and interiors, captured this moment in time, providing us with a window into the past. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the 1900s in America, showcasing the beauty and elegance of the era's interior design and art collections.
