EDITORS COMMENTS
Quiet Corner" is a captivating photograph of the John Wesley Baxter house, located at the intersection of Dublin and Hill Roads in Greenwich, Connecticut, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the year 1920. The house, designed by architect Benjamin William Morris for William Clyde Fitch and completed around December 1903, boasts later additions by John Wesley Baxter. The image showcases the picturesque beauty of the house nestled amidst the serene winter landscape. The snow-covered ground and trees create a tranquil atmosphere, while the hand-tinted lantern, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the house, adds a touch of intrigue and charm. The stone lantern, also known as a Toro, is a traditional Japanese garden ornament, reflecting the influence of Eastern aesthetics on American architecture during the early 20th century. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering American photographer, captured the essence of the season with her skillful use of color and lighting. The hand-colored lantern slide, which was popular during the 1920s, showcases the photographer's mastery of the medium. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and the beauty of the natural world during the wintry season. The Quiet Corner photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, architecture, or nature. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasures of a snowy winter day could be savored in the comfort of a beautiful home. The photograph is a reminder of the enduring beauty of the natural world and the role that architecture plays in enhancing our connection to it. This photograph is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American history and culture. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of American architecture, the beauty of the natural world, or the art of photography.
