EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa I Tatti, located in Ponte a Mensola near Settignano, Italy. The villa, which was designed by Cecil Ross Pinset in 1909, is a marvel of early 20th-century architecture, boasting elegant columns and intricate detailing. The architectural brilliance of Pinset is further evident in the meticulously designed gardens and landscaped grounds, which he collaborated on with Geoffrey Scott starting from 1914. The villa, now owned by Harvard University and used as the Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, has a rich history. It was once the home of renowned art historian Bernard Berenson and his family. The image, hand colored or hand tinted, offers a unique perspective of the villa's exterior, showcasing its timeless charm and the picturesque Italian countryside in the background. The lantern slide, a popular medium for educational and presentation purposes during the 1920s and 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the study of art and history was at the forefront of intellectual pursuits. The image, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of both the villa and the photographer.
