Untermyer Garden, 1917: A Timeless Masterpiece of American Landscape Architecture This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of the Untermyer Garden in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York State, United States. The garden, a masterpiece of landscape architecture, was created by Samuel Untermyer, a prominent American lawyer and philanthropist, who sought to transform his estate into a public park for the enjoyment of all. The image showcases the garden's stunning loggia, an architectural feature that serves as a focal point of the design. The loggia, adorned with intricately carved columns and pillars, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and vibrant flowers, creating a harmonious blend of nature and artifice. The terrace, with its elegant pillars and columns, extends outwards, inviting visitors to explore the garden's many delights. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a testament to the enduring allure of this historic garden. The image, a nitrate negative, has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American heritage art and culture. The garden, now a National Historic Landmark, continues to attract visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its beauty and to be inspired by its rich history. This timeless image, captured by Arnold Genthe, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a bygone era when grand gardens were a symbol of American prosperity and cultural sophistication. The Untermyer Garden, a true gem of American landscape architecture, remains a source of inspiration and wonder, a testament to the power of nature and the vision of its creator.
