From verso: A study in slender beauty. Of somewhat unusual pattern is this delicate mansion, Linden, near Natchez. The original section was built in 1783 and the flanking wings in 1825. The latter were constructed by Thomas Reed, first United States Senator from Mississippi. The long gallery measures 90 feet; the balustrade at the second level, and the portico with its circular glass window, are much admired.

Известный архитектурный фотограф Франс Бенджамин Джонстон (1864-1952) создал коллекцию ранних американских зданий и садов под названием Карнеги-Сервей Архитектуры Юга (CSAS). Эта коллекция, созданная в основном в 1930-х годах, содержит более 7100 изображений, показывающих примерно 1700 строений и объектов в сельских и городских районах Вирджинии, Мэриленда, Северной Каролины, Южной Каролины, Джорджии, Алабамы и Луизианы и в меньшей степени Флориды, Миссисипи и Западной Вирджинии. Интерес Джонстона как к акустическим, так и к высоким постройкам привел к ярким портретам экзорцистов и интерьеров домов, мельниц и церквей, а также особняков, плантаций и флигелей. Исследование началось с финансируемого из частных источников проекта по документированию поместья Чатем и близлежащих Фредериксбург и Олд-Фалмут, штат Вирджиния, в 1927-29 годах. Затем Джонстон посвятила себя реализации более крупного проекта, чтобы помочь сохранить исторические здания и пробудить интерес к американской архитектурной истории. Корпорация Карнеги стала ее главным финансовым спонсором и предоставила шесть грантов в течение 1930-х годов при условии, что негативы будут переданы в библиотеку Конгресса. Библиотека официально приобрела негативы CSAS из ее имения в 1953 году вместе с ее обширными бумагами и примерно 20 000 других фотографий.

Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952) was an American photographer who is best known for her pioneering work in the field of architectural and landscape photography. She was born in Grafton, West Virginia, and after studying art and photography in Paris, she returned to the United States and established herself as a successful photographer. Johnston's work focused primarily on architecture, and she photographed many of the most significant buildings and structures of her time. She also photographed landscapes, gardens, and people, and her work often appeared in magazines such as House Beautiful, Ladies' Home Journal, and Country Life. One of Johnston's most notable projects was her documentation of historic architecture in the American South. In 1933, she was commissioned by the Carnegie Corporation to photograph historic homes and buildings in Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. This work resulted in a series of photographs that are now housed in the Library of Congress. Throughout her career, Johnston was also an advocate for women in photography, and she worked to promote the work of other women photographers. She was a founding member of the Women's Professional Photographers' Association and the Photo-Secession, a group of photographers who sought to elevate photography as an art form.
