EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait photograph, titled "Madame Edwards," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 3, 1919. The image is part of Genthe's extensive collection, held in the Library of Congress. The black and white glass negative depicts a woman of great character and elegance, dressed in an intricately beaded and embroidered dress. The dress, which is reminiscent of the fashion trends of the 1910s in the United States, features a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full skirt. The beadwork and needlework on the dress are meticulously detailed, with beads of various colors and sizes adorning the fabric. The portrait was taken against a plain background, allowing the intricacies of the woman's attire to take center stage. The woman's expression is serious yet confident, adding to the overall sense of sophistication and class. The location of the photograph is unknown, but the image captures the essence of rural America during the early 20th century. The use of black and white in the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection. This portrait of Madame Edwards is a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the clothing and needlework of the era, and serves as an important historical record of American fashion during the 1910s.
