EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1901 and 1910 by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the Willard Hotel's pub during the early 20th century. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases a cozy booth and table with chairs, inviting patrons to relax and enjoy a drink. In the background, a bar, bartender, and waiter can be seen, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the public house. The Willard Hotel, located in Washington D.C., was a popular destination for politicians, businessmen, and tourists alike during this era. The Beaux-Arts architecture of the building is evident in the ornate detailing of the bar and the elegant waiters' uniforms. The monochrome palette of the cyanotype print adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a pioneering photographer, documenting the architecture and interior design of historic buildings across the United States. Her work captures the essence of the country's heritage, providing valuable insights into the past. In this photograph, we see not only the interior design of the Willard Hotel's pub but also the occupation and profession of the men who worked there. The image invites us to imagine the conversations and stories that unfolded within these walls over a century ago.
