EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken between 1901 and 1910 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back in time to the grandeur of the Willard Hotel ballroom in Washington D.C. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Willard Hotel was a symbol of elegance and sophistication, attracting politicians, socialites, and dignitaries from all corners of the United States. Johnston's photograph, taken in monochrome, showcases the spacious and empty ballroom, adorned with intricate Beaux-Arts architecture and stunning blue and white flooring. The room's high ceilings, ornate moldings, and large windows bathed in natural light, all contribute to the sense of grandeur and opulence. At the turn of the century, the Willard Hotel was a hub of activity and political intrigue, with many significant events taking place within its walls. This image, however, offers a rare glimpse into the hotel's quieter moments, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and heritage of this historic building. Johnston's use of cyanotypes, a photographic printing process popular during this time, adds to the vintage feel of the image, further transporting us back to the early 1900s. The Library of Congress holds this and many other photographic prints by Frances Benjamin Johnston in its extensive collection, preserving the history and architectural heritage of the United States for future generations.
