    $25.00

    This vintage photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston captures a serene view of the gardens and stone walls in the vicinity of Mt. Vernon, Fairfax County, Virginia. The setting is historically significant as it is close to George Washingtons estate, a site rich in American history. The image reflects the architectural and landscape design prevalent during the early 20th century, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of stonework and the natural beauty of the gardens.

    Johnstons work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document the architectural heritage of the region. The survey highlights the importance of preserving historical sites and provides valuable insights into American landscape architecture. This photograph serves not only as a visual record of a specific location but also contributes to the larger narrative of American cultural heritage.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this image remains a testament to the enduring legacy of American gardens and their role in historical preservation. The attention to detail and composition makes it an essential piece for collectors and historians alike.
