EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Miss Bailey, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on February 17, 1915. The young woman, dressed in a frilly blouse with a high collar and a flowing skirt, exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. The intricate details of her hairstyle, adorned with a delicate headband, add to her allure. The backdrop of the image is intriguing, with the subtle hints of aviation elements suggesting a connection to the burgeoning field of flight. The use of glass negatives by Genthe results in a crisp, clear image that showcases the intricacies of the clothing and the textures of the fabric. Miss Bailey's gaze is directed away from the camera, adding an element of mystery to the portrait. Her posture and demeanor suggest a strong, independent woman, perhaps with a connection to Britain or Ireland, given the fashion trends of the time. The image is a captivating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the early 1910s in America. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of Arnold Genthe's work. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photography or fashion history, and is a reminder of the power of a single image to transport us to another time and place.
