EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of Alice Baker, an American young woman of the 1910s. Taken on June 4, 1917 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Alice in a simple yet elegant blouse and open collar, her hair styled in an intricate updo with a delicate headband adorning her forehead. The high collar of her blouse frames her delicate features, drawing attention to her expressive nose and piercing eyes. The background is softly blurred, focusing the viewer's gaze on Alice's profile. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this moment in time with his glass negatives, preserving the fashion trends and cultural nuances of the era. Alice's clothing, with its high collar and long sleeves, reflects the conservative yet feminine styles popular during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American fashion and the enduring allure of vintage photography. The Library of Congress houses this precious piece of history, a reminder of the past and a window into the lives of young women like Alice Baker. The image invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the continuity of fashion trends, as well as the unique character and charm of each era.
