EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Cisco, John Jay, Mrs.," was captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on June 22, 1915. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases a defiant and independent woman named Mrs. Cisco John Jay. Dressed in a high-collared, long-sleeved dress with a fitted waist and full skirt, Mrs. John Jay exudes an air of confidence and nonchalance as she looks away from the camera with a slight tilt of her head. The monochromatic palette of the image, with its intricate textures and contrasting shades of white and black, adds to the timeless and elegant quality of the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, is known for his glass negatives and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with precision and artistry. This portrait of Mrs. Cisco John Jay is a testament to his skill, as he manages to convey a sense of strength and individuality through a simple still image. The fashion of the early 1910s is also on full display, with the high collar and full skirt reflecting the trends of the time. The portrait is a valuable addition to the heritage of art and photography, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the past. It invites us to reflect on the lives of the people who came before us and the stories they have to tell. The Library of Congress, with its vast collection of historical images, continues to be an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in exploring the past through the lens of a camera.
