EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Baker, Ray Stannard' and dated November 23, 1914, captures the introspective gaze of American author and journalist, Ray Stannard Baker. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Baker in formal attire, donning a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. Accessorized with a moustache and glasses, Baker's direct gaze adds an air of seriousness and intellectualism to the image. The setting of the photograph is unclear, but Baker's profession as a journalist and historian is evident from his attire and demeanor. The image is reminiscent of the early 20th century, a time when men in America dressed formally for various professional and social engagements. The use of glass negatives and the resulting monochromatic image adds to the historical significance of the photograph. Ray Stannard Baker was a prolific writer and biographer, known for his works on American history and politics. His career spanned several decades, and he served as a congressional correspondent during the early 1900s. This portrait photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his career to documenting the history and culture of his country. Arnold Genthe, a German-American photographer, captured this image during the 1910s, a time when photography was becoming increasingly popular as a means of capturing history and preserving memories. The image is now part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection of historical photographs, serving as a testament to the rich heritage of American history and culture.
