EDITORS COMMENTS
Pavillon Colombe," or Edith Wharton's Villa in St. Brice-sous-Foret, France, is a stunning example of early 20th century American expatriate culture and the fusion of European and American design sensibilities. This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the picturesque exterior of the villa, located at 33 rue Edith Wharton. The house itself is a historic edifice, built in 1769 with later modifications by Charles Moreux and Henri Gonse for Edith Wharton between 1918 and 1919. The architectural design is a harmonious blend of French and American influences, reflecting the transatlantic tastes of its famous resident. Edith Wharton, an acclaimed American author, purchased the property in 1911 and spent the following years transforming the estate's gardens under the guidance of landscape architect Lawrence Johnston. The resulting design is a breathtaking symphony of symmetry and natural beauty, with a serene pool reflecting the peaceful surroundings. The photograph, taken during the 1920s, captures the villa's enduring allure, with the lantern slide's still image revealing the villa's elegant facade and the tranquil waters of the pool. The image exudes a sense of calm and reflection, making it a fitting testament to the timeless beauty of Edith Wharton's French retreat. This photograph, part of the Library of Congress's collection, is a significant historical record of a pivotal moment in American literary and cultural history. It offers a glimpse into the life of a groundbreaking author and her connection to the European landscape that inspired her work. The image's symmetrical composition and the reflected waters of the pool add to its visual appeal, making it a captivating and enduring work of art.
