EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the defiant spirit of Miss W. Waite, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915. The young woman's direct gaze challenges the viewer, her frizzy hair cascading down her shoulders in a bold, untamed hairstyle. The high-necked, form-fitting dress with a low, revealing cleavage showcases the latest fashion trends of the era, while the simple yet elegant apparel highlights the beauty of her figure. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, was captured using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 20th century. The monochromatic palette adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. Miss Waite's confident and unapologetic demeanor defies societal norms, making this portrait an intriguing and thought-provoking piece of heritage art. The photograph is a testament to the power of individuality and the courage to challenge conventions, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American history and culture.
