EDITORS COMMENTS
The Elms," located at 367 Bellevue Avenue in Newport, Rhode Island, is a stunning example of American architectural grandeur, captured in this hand-colored lantern slide photograph taken in 1914. The estate was the residence of Edward Julius Berwind, a prominent American businessman and philanthropist. The house, designed by Horace Trumbauer between 1899 and 1901, and later expanded in 1911, is a breathtaking display of Beaux-Arts architecture. The intricate details of the building's facade, with its grand steps leading to an ornate entrance, are accentuated by the lush green lawn and meticulously tended gardens. The landscape design of "The Elms" is the work of Horace Trumbauer himself, completed between 1907 and 1914. The gardens feature a variety of statues and ornamental elements, adding to the estate's sense of opulence and grandeur. The gardens were tended by Bruce Butterton, a renowned gardener of the time. This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grand estates and opulent living were the norm for the American elite. The hand-colored lantern slide, produced between 1910 and 1920, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Newport, Rhode Island, and the United States as a whole. The Elms, with its beautiful architecture, stunning gardens, and historic significance, continues to be a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for architects, historians, and artists alike. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American architectural and historical imagery.
