EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe in October 1933, captures the elegant interior of the House of Mrs. Robert L. Dodge, also known as Sefton Manor, located in Mill Neck, Long Island, New York. Designed by Clinton and Russell in 1922 for cosmetics executive Lillian Sefton Dodge, this Neo-Gothic mansion exudes an air of opulence and grandeur. The image focuses on the bedroom, with its four-poster bed swathed in rich fabric, a gothic revival masterpiece in itself. The room's interior design is a testament to the era's taste for ornate detail and luxurious materials. The bed chamber is adorned with a heavy, velvet bedspread, intricately patterned wallpaper, and a bedside table laden with a telephone and a table lamp. The room's communications equipment, including the telephone, hints at the early 20th century's increasing focus on modern conveniences. The table, with its cloth cover and ornate legs, adds to the room's overall aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the gothic revival style of the house. This photograph is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the heritage art and interior design of the past. The image invites us to explore the concept of communication, both in its physical form, such as the telephone, and in the way that this image has been preserved and shared through the decades.
