    Courting Alcove in Fredericksburg, VA - 20th Century Image

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures a detailed view of the Courting and Marriage Alcove in a historic residence located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The image, commissioned by Mrs. Devore of Chatham, highlights architectural elements such as elegant moldings, a decorative mantel, and the intimate setting of a drawing room.

    Frances Benjamin Johnston, an influential photographer known for her work documenting Southern architecture, produced this image as part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South. This survey aimed to record the diverse architectural styles and historical significance of the regions buildings.

    Taken during a time when architecture reflected both functionality and artistry, this photograph serves as a visual record of the design trends in early 20th-century Virginia. The image is part of the collection housed at the Library of Congress, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
