EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the introspective gaze of Charles Haddon Spurgeon Chambers, an American dramatist and playwright, in 1913. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Chambers in formal attire, donning a starched collar and cuffs, a coat draped over his arms, and a cigarette in hand. The accessory adds an air of sophistication and nonchalance to his demeanor, as he looks directly at the camera with a thoughtful expression. The location of the photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been taken in either the United States or Britain, given Chambers' American heritage and the influence of both countries on the arts during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, with the prominent use of starched collars and formal dresses for men. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this moment using glass negatives, resulting in a high-quality, detailed image that has stood the test of time. The portrait's composition, with Chambers' hand on his head and the cigarette between his fingers, adds to the overall intrigue and allure of the image. This still image, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, is a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the past and the life of a notable American playwright.
