EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Atlantic City Bathing Contest of 1927" by Arnold Genthe, captures a moment of excitement and glamour from the Roaring Twenties in America. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases a confident contestant posing inside an Atlantic City, New Jersey, venue, likely the site of the bathing beauty contest. Dressed in a fashionable bathing costume, complete with high-heeled shoes and a hat, she exudes an air of elegance and allure. The contestant gazes directly at the camera with a smile, inviting the viewer into her world. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of indoor and outdoor fashion during this era. The contestant's bathing suit, reminiscent of the popular two-piece designs of the time, is contrasted by her high-heeled carriage boots and a long, flowing dress. This contrast between swimwear and formal attire highlights the transition from beach to ballroom that was common during the 1920s. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of lighting and composition adds to the image's timeless appeal. The nitrate negative creates a rich, textured look, while the contestant's posture and hand on hip add a sense of poise and sophistication. The photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty, fashion, and excitement of the 1920s, making it a valuable piece of American heritage art.
