EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mrs. Robert Bacon's estate Old Westbury, L.I. between 1909 and 1927," captures the picturesque beauty of the Old Westbury estate on Long Island, New York. The image showcases a serene grassy path leading from a rose garden to a wildflower sanctuary. The estate, owned by Robert Low Bacon, is surrounded by lush greenery and herbaceous borders, creating a stunning landscape that embodies the essence of country living during the early 20th century. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and garden designer, captured this moment in time through her expert use of gelatin silver prints. Johnston's work is celebrated for her documentation of historic American gardens and her significant contributions to the field of landscape gardening. The photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress and was exhibited in the groundbreaking exhibition "Groundbreakers: Great American Gardens and the Women Who Designed Them" at the LuEsther T. Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Gardens in 2014. This image is a testament to the rich heritage of American gardening and the visionary women who shaped it. The Old Westbury estate, located on Long Island, New York, is a quintessential representation of the American country home during the 1900s and 1910s. The twenties brought a renewed appreciation for the outdoors, and this photograph captures the essence of that era with its depiction of a peaceful path through a beautiful garden. The United States of America's natural beauty and love for gardening are on full display in this timeless image.
