Marcellus, Irene or Violet, 1918 Jan. 11
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. Taken in the early 1910s, the image showcases a young woman, dressed in a flowing, elegant dress, standing poised before a simple backdrop. The woman, with her back turned to the camera, gazes off into the distance with a thoughtful expression, one hand delicately resting on her head. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the era, with the woman's dress featuring intricate detailing and a full skirt that billows out around her. The use of a veil adds an air of mystery and allure to the photograph. The setting is simple, with no discernible location or props, allowing the focus to remain solely on the woman and her poised, elegant demeanor. Genthe, a pioneer in the use of glass negatives, expertly captures the nuances of light and shadow in this monochrome image. The contrast between the woman's white dress and the dark background creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricacies of the dress and the woman's posture. This photograph is a beautiful example of the performing arts and fashion trends of the early 20th century in the United States. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, frozen in history, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this rare and exquisite image in its collection, a testament to the enduring legacy of Arnold Genthe and the art of photography.
