EDITORS COMMENTS
The Elms," located at 367 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, was the magnificent estate of Edward Julius Berwind. Captured in this stunning 1914 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the house and its surrounding gardens exude an air of opulence and grandeur. Designed by the esteemed architect Horace Trumbauer between 1899 and 1901, the Tudor Revival mansion boasts a red tile roof, half-timbered walls, and intricate stonework. The landscape, also designed by Trumbauer between 1907 and 1914, features a sweeping lawn dotted with trees and a distant view of the ocean. The estate's grounds were meticulously maintained by the skilled gardener Bruce Butterton. The image showcases the entrance gate, framed by trees and illuminated by a lantern, leading the way into the estate's private world. The hand-coloured photograph, taken during the 1910s, invites us to imagine the tranquility and beauty of this historic American estate. The Elms, with its rich heritage, stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Gilded Age in the United States. This vintage image, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time and offers a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of Newport's storied past. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph of "The Elms" is a treasure in the Library of Congress's vast collection of lantern slides, hand-coloured between 1910 and 1920. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our nation's history and the beauty of America's architectural and horticultural heritage.
