    Richmond VA 1953: Historic Interior by Frances Benjamin John

    $25.00

    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured a significant moment in the architectural history of Richmond, Virginia, through her lens. This image is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a comprehensive study aimed at documenting historic structures and their interiors. The photograph showcases an elegantly designed interior featuring decorative arts elements such as intricate wallpapers, well-crafted tables, and ornate fireplaces with mantels, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era.

    The setting is located in Henrico County, Richmond, a region known for its rich architectural heritage. Johnstons work often highlights the interplay between decorative arts and functional design, providing insight into the domestic life of early 20th-century America. This particular piece is linked to notable literary figure Miss Ellen Glasgow, further emphasizing the cultural significance of the location.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph serves as a valuable historical record, contributing to our understanding of the decorative arts and interior design during that period in Virginia.
