    Vintage Estate Photo, Charles City, Virginia, 1730

    $25.00

    Frances Benjamin Johnston captured a vintage photograph of an estate near Charles City, Virginia, dating back to around 1730. This historic structure was built by William Byrd II, a prominent figure in Virginias colonial history. The estate exemplifies the architectural style and landscape design of the period, reflecting the grandeur of early American estates.

    The image highlights the meticulously maintained gardens surrounding the estate, which played a significant role in the lifestyle of the regions elite during the 18th century. The gardens not only provided aesthetic pleasure but also served as a source of food and herbs for the household.

    This photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, a significant collection documenting the architectural heritage of the southern United States. It was acquired from the estate of Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1953, ensuring the preservation of this important piece of Virginias history.
