EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Albert, Heinrich, Mr.," was taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 8, 1916. The subject, identified as Heinrich Albert or Heinrich Friedrich Albert, is depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of authority and sophistication. He wears a starched collar and cuffs, a dark suit, and a neatly tied tie. A moustache frames his direct gaze, which is fixed on the camera lens, creating an intimate connection between the viewer and the subject. Heinrich Albert's occupation is suggested by the accessories that accompany his attire. The presence of a commissary badge on his lapel indicates that he may have been a civil servant or a diplomat, possibly serving in the United States government. The portrait was taken during the 1910s, a time of significant political change in both Germany and the United States. Arnold Genthe, a German-American photographer, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique that was popular during the early 20th century. The resulting monochromatic image has a timeless quality, transporting us back to a bygone era. The portrait is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of historical photography as a means of documenting the past.
