EDITORS COMMENTS
Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Symmetrical Haven of Tranquility in Yonkers, New York This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, captures the breathtaking beauty of the Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York. The garden, designed by William Welles Bosworth, was commissioned by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist. The image showcases the garden's impressive amphitheater, with its grand columns and symmetrical design, surrounded by lush greenery and a serene water feature. The garden's bridge and footbridge add to the sense of tranquility and harmony, leading visitors through the landscaped terrain. The garden's design was influenced by ancient Roman and Greek architecture, with topiary and intricate details adding to the overall effect. The garden was a public park, open to the community, and was a popular destination for visitors seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. This photograph, a nitrate negative held by the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring beauty and heritage of the Untermyer Garden. The garden, unfortunately, fell into disrepair in the latter half of the 20th century but has since been restored to its former glory, continuing to inspire visitors with its timeless design and natural beauty.
