    This vintage photograph captures a serene landscape from Henrico County, Virginia, specifically the Richmond vicinity. Documented by Frances Benjamin Johnston, a noted photographer in the early 20th century, the image showcases meticulously designed gardens adorned with vibrant flowers and tranquil lily ponds. These elements highlight the elegance of landscape architecture from that era.

    Johnston’s work is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, which aimed to document significant architectural sites and gardens throughout the region. The image provides a glimpse into the horticultural practices and aesthetic preferences of the time, illustrating the harmony between nature and design.

    The photograph serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the gardens of Richmond and their landscape pavilions. It is a testament to the enduring beauty of Virginias natural spaces, reflecting the artistry and care invested in cultivating these serene environments. The image is dated 1953, following its purchase from Johnstons estate, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
