EDITORS COMMENTS
Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Sunlit Oasis of Architectural Wonders and Cosmic Delights This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, transports us to the enchanting Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York State, United States. The garden, a masterpiece of landscape design, was created by the visionary attorney and horticulturist, Samuel Untermyer. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are greeted by the sunlit loggia, its intricate architectural details casting elongated shadows on the ground. The pergola, adorned with climbing vines, frames a breathtaking view of the garden's solar system-inspired fountain. The sun, a radiant orb of light, casts its warm embrace upon the scene, illuminating the white and black structures and the lush greenery. Bosworth William Welles, a prominent figure in the world of astronomy, collaborated with Untermyer to design the garden, incorporating celestial elements into its layout. The garden's design features a walled area with a series of terraces, each representing a planet in our solar system. The fountain at the center represents the sun, surrounded by the planets, which are represented by various plants and flowers. This photograph, a nitrate negative from the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring beauty of the Untermyer Garden and the vision of its creator. It invites us to reflect on the harmony between nature, architecture, and the cosmos, and to appreciate the rich heritage of American garden design.
