This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of Virginia Pearson, an actress of the early 20th century, on July 13, 1915. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Pearson's beauty and poise as she gazes into a hand mirror, her hand delicately resting on her head. The young woman wears a fashionable blouse with a high neckline and intricate jewelry, adorned with a striking necklace. The photograph, reminiscent of the Vanity Fair portraits, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the changing times and the emergence of the film industry in America. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s, with the use of monochrome tones and the focus on intricate clothing details. The location, likely a studio, provides a sense of intimacy and intimacy, allowing the viewer to connect with Pearson on a personal level. The portrait also speaks to the concept of vanity and self-presentation, as Pearson checks her reflection, ensuring her appearance is perfect for her next role in the movie industry. This photograph, part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of American heritage, showcasing the country's rich history in acting, cinematography, and fashion. The image is a still moment in time, frozen in the glass negatives of Arnold Genthe, a testament to the enduring allure of the past.
