EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe in 1932, we see the distinguished face of Professor Robert Wood, an American physicist and inventor who made groundbreaking contributions to the field of optics. The image captures Wood in deep thought, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon as he holds a tobacco pipe between his lips. The photograph's high contrast and dramatic lighting create an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, adding to the sense of intellectual intensity and quiet determination. Born in 1868, Robert Williams Wood was a pioneer in the fields of infrared and ultraviolet photography. He was a leading figure in the study of diffraction, spectroscopy, and phosphorescence, and his work on the behavior of light in various wavelengths opened up new avenues of research in physics and related sciences. The use of nitrate negatives, which were common in the 1930s, lends the image a nostalgic charm, transporting us back to an era of scientific discovery and innovation. The setting of the portrait is not explicitly stated, but the professor's formal attire and the serious expression on his face suggest a professional environment, perhaps a laboratory or academic institution. The Library of Congress, which holds the Genthe Collection, is the current custodian of this valuable piece of photographic history. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of science and the human curiosity that drives it, as well as a tribute to the artistic vision of Arnold Genthe, who captured the essence of his subject with remarkable skill and sensitivity.
