EDITORS COMMENTS
Cragston," the magnificent estate of renowned financier John Pierpont Morgan, is nestled in the picturesque town of Highland Falls, New York, around 1913. Captured in this photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the estate's breathtaking gardens come alive with a vibrant display of tulips and daffodils. The idyllic countryside setting, with its rolling fields and rustic lantern-lit trees, transports us to a simpler time in American history. John Pierpont Morgan, a prominent figure in American finance and industry, was known for his impressive collection of art and his love for gardening. This passion for horticulture is evident in the meticulously designed gardens of Cragston, which showcase the beauty of the changing seasons. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a renowned American photographer and garden designer, expertly captured the essence of the estate's gardens in this hand-colored lantern slide. The image invites us to explore the rich heritage of American country life during the 1910s, a time when the rural and the rustic held a strong allure for the urban elite. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of nature, as well as the beauty and elegance of America's past. The fields of tulips and daffodils, bathed in the soft light, serve as a reminder of the simple pleasures that can be found in the countryside. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, showcasing the country's rich cultural history and the beauty of its natural landscapes. The Library of Congress holds this image as part of its extensive collection of lantern slides from the 1910s and 1920s, providing a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of the American countryside.
