EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the confident and alluring gaze of May Allen, a young woman of the early 20th century, as she directly faces the camera. Dressed in fashionable clothing of the time, May wears a collared blouse with a high neckline and a fitted jacket, both adorned with intricate patterns and textures. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, with soft waves cascading down the sides of her head, framing her face and accentuating her features. The photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on September 25, 1915, is a testament to the country's rich heritage of artistic expression and fashion trends during the 1910s. The image, which is part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection of glass negatives, showcases the timeless beauty and charm of a bygone era. May's poised and self-assured demeanor exudes a sense of sophistication and elegance, making this portrait a captivating addition to any collection of vintage photography or women's fashion history. The monochromatic palette of the image, with its stark contrasts of white and black, adds to the image's enduring appeal and ability to transport us back in time.
