    Fredericksburg VA Courting Alcove Photo, Early 20th Century

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures the Courting and Marriage Alcove from a residence in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The image showcases architectural elements typical of the region, including intricately designed fireplaces, elegant mantels, and detailed moldings. The alcove reflects the social customs of the time, providing a private space for intimate gatherings.

    Commissioned by Mrs. Devore of Chatham, this work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document significant architectural styles across the southern United States. The survey emphasizes the historical importance of such spaces in shaping the cultural narrative of the area.

    Taken during the early 20th century, this photograph not only highlights the craftsmanship of the period but also serves as a valuable resource for understanding the architectural heritage of Fredericksburg. The image was acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953 and holds a place in the Library of Congresss Prints and Photographs Division.
