EDITORS COMMENTS
Quiet Corner," John Wesley Baxter House, Dublin and Hill Roads, Greenwich, Connecticut, 1920, is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases the serene and picturesque beauty of the Baxter House, a historic estate nestled in the rolling hills of Greenwich, Connecticut. The house, designed by Benjamin W. Morris for William Clyde Fitch and later expanded by John Wesley Baxter, stands proudly amidst a lush, well-manicured garden. The photograph captures the essence of the tranquil countryside, with its verdant greenery, ornamental pond, and various garden features. The garden design, a testament to the early 20th century's appreciation for the Arts and Crafts movement, is on full display. The garden's centerpiece is an ornamental pond, surrounded by an array of shrubs, trees, and flowers. A stone urn and a lantern sit atop the pond, adding to the garden's charm and character. In the background, the house's red-roofed facade, with its amphora-shaped containers and arched windows, can be seen. The house's design elements, such as the classical columns and the arched entryway, blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, creating a harmonious balance between architecture and nature. Johnston's photograph, taken in the 1920s, is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of American architecture and garden design. The image, with its peaceful and idyllic setting, is a visual treat for anyone interested in the history of American estates, gardens, and the Arts and Crafts movement. The photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the beauty and charm of the past, inviting us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a quiet corner in the countryside.
