EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Alice Muriel Astor, an American heiress and socialite, in 1914 at the height of her teenage years. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on February 28 of that year, the image showcases Alice's confident and direct gaze, as she looks straight into the camera with a sense of poise and assurance beyond her years. Dressed in an elegant, high-collared dress with intricate beadwork and a flowing skirt, Alice embodies the affluence and fashion trends of the early 1910s. Her hair is styled in an elaborate do, with soft curls framing her face and cascading down her back. The glass negative photograph, a testament to the artistic techniques of the time, captures every detail of Alice's apparel and the delicate texture of her hair. The portrait was taken in a quiet, intimate setting, with Alice seated on a plush chair, her hands folded demurely in her lap. The background is simple, allowing the focus to remain solely on Alice and her captivating presence. The image has been preserved in the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of both Alice Muriel Astor and the remarkable talent of Arnold Genthe. As a teenage girl of wealth and social standing, Alice's portrait serves as a reminder of the societal expectations and conventions of the time, as well as the confidence and grace with which she navigated her world. The image continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and the glimpse it offers into a bygone era.
