EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, created by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa La Pietra located at via Bolognese 120 in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The villa, with its first half 16th-century architecture, was purchased by Arthur and Hortense Mitchell Acton in 1907. The image captures the idyllic scene of the villa's grounds, adorned with a colorful array of flowers, climbing plants, and lush greenery. The pink and white roses, in full bloom, add a pop of color to the scene, while the statues and lanterns scattered throughout the garden add a touch of Renaissance elegance. The landscape, which was meticulously maintained by the Actons, is a testament to their appreciation for the arts and their commitment to preserving the historic beauty of Italy. This hand-colored lantern slide, part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasures of nature and art were cherished. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that Italy continues to offer to this day.
