    Shirley Plantation, Charles City, VA - Historic Photo 1953

    $25.00

    This vintage photograph captures the historic Shirley plantation located in Charles City County, Virginia. Renowned for its architectural significance, Shirley dates back to the 18th century and exemplifies the style of colonial plantation homes. The image features various outbuildings that were essential to the plantations operations, reflecting the agricultural practices of the time.

    Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer, was known for her role in documenting American architecture and landscapes. This particular photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a project aimed at preserving the rich architectural heritage of the Southern United States. The image serves as a visual record of the structures that supported plantation life and contributed to the historical narrative of Virginia.

    Acquired from the Frances Benjamin Johnston estate in 1953, this photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congresss collection. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing viewers to appreciate the architectural and cultural history of Shirley plantation and its surroundings.
