EDITORS COMMENTS
Cragston," the magnificent country estate of renowned financier John Pierpont Morgan, is nestled in the picturesque town of Highland Falls, New York, along the shores of Lake Hudson in Orange County. Captured in this exquisite 1913 photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the estate's breathtaking gardens are awash in a vibrant display of springtime blooms. The lush, rolling fields surrounding Cragston are a riot of color, with tulips and daffodils stretching as far as the eye can see. The estate's gardens, designed by the famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr., showcase the natural beauty of the countryside, blending seamlessly with the surrounding geographical features. John Pierpont Morgan, a man of great wealth and influence, sought to create a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life at Cragston. The estate's rustic charm and picturesque setting were a stark contrast to the urban environment of Morgan's business empire. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1910 and 1920, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple pleasures of rural life held great allure. The estate's grandeur is evident in the meticulously tended gardens, with their carefully arranged trees and plants, and the elegant lantern-lit paths that wind through the fields. This stunning photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty of nature and the enduring appeal of rural life. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of American country estates and the importance of preserving the natural beauty of our countryside for future generations to enjoy.
