EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1913, features Laura Williamson, a young woman with an enchanting gaze and an elegant air. The black and white image, titled "Mrs. W.F. Williamson (Laura)," was captured on July 18 of that year and is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress. Laura is depicted in a casual yet stylish setting, wearing a simple yet chic bathrobe. The garment, which is cinched at the waist with a sash, reveals her slender figure and highlights her feminine curves. Her hair is styled in a sophisticated updo, held in place by a decorative headband. The hairstyle, along with her direct gaze and the slight lean of her body as she rests her elbow on a table, exudes an aura of confidence and poise. The photograph, which is a glass negative, is a testament to Genthe's mastery of the art of photography. The use of contrasting shades of white and black creates a striking visual effect, enhancing the texture of Laura's clothing and the intricacies of her hairstyle. The image, which is reminiscent of the "La Jeunesse" movement, captures the essence of youth and vitality, making it a timeless piece of heritage art. The portrait of Laura Williamson is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 1910s. It is a reminder of the power of photography to capture moments in time and preserve them for future generations to appreciate and be inspired by.
