EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Mary Benson, an elegant and gracious hostess, stands at the entrance of her beautiful country house between 1933 and 1942. The photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the timeless charm of the era. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, transports us back to a bygone era. Mrs. Benson's stately residence, adorned with intricate architectural details, exudes an air of sophistication and grandeur. The house, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flowers, is reminiscent of the quintessential American country home. The garden, filled with blooming plants and colorful foliage, adds to the picturesque scene. Mrs. Benson, dressed in an elegant dress and holding a dainty parasol, welcomes her guests with a warm smile. The table, set up outside, is laden with an array of fine china, crystal glasses, and silverware, ready for a sumptuous lunch or luncheon. The image captures the essence of a quintessential garden party, a tradition that was popular during the 1930s in the United States. Arnold Genthe, a master of capturing the essence of his subjects, has immortalized this moment in time. The nitrate negative, a testament to the photographer's skill, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
