EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, created by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1897, presents an enchanting view of the White House, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The architectural masterpiece, designed primarily by James Hoban with contributions from Pierre Charles L'Enfant, Thomas Jefferson, and others, dates back to 1792. The image showcases the White House's grandeur, with its intricate detailing, columned façade, and sprawling lawn. Notable additions to the White House grounds during this era include the installation of a pool during the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and the placement of a drinking fountain. The meticulously landscaped grounds, adorned with flower beds and a colorful obelisk, add to the overall beauty of the scene. The lantern slide, hand-colored between 1890 and 1900, transports us back to a bygone era, providing a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the United States. The White House, a symbol of American democracy and political power, stands proudly on Pennsylvania Avenue, surrounded by the vibrant greenery of its landscaped grounds. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of the White House and the history it holds.
