EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, titled "Scheld, Miss," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in the year 1915. The image, a stunning monochrome masterpiece held in the vast collections of the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social history of the early 20th century in the United States. The young woman in the photograph, identified as Miss Scheld, is depicted in a thoughtful and watchful pose, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Her attire, a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt, is typical of the elegant and refined clothing popular during this era. The dress, which features a delicate lace overlay and intricate beading detail, would have been a prized possession for any young woman of the time. Miss Scheld's hair is styled in a classic bob, a popular hairstyle of the 1910s, which adds to her modern and fashionable appearance. Her hairdo, sleek and smooth, is held in place with a delicate headband, which further accentuates her youthful beauty. The photograph was captured using glass negatives, a common photographic technique of the time, resulting in the striking contrast and clarity that characterizes this image. The black and white format adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a true treasure of American heritage art. This portrait of Miss Scheld offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social history of the early 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and elegance of this era.
