EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, created by Arnold Genthe in April 1906, features the legendary French actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923), seated next to an unidentified man. The image, which is now held at the Library of Congress in the United States, showcases the pair looking away from each other, with Bernhardt donning an elegant white dress, a scarf draped around her neck, and a veil covering her head. The man, dressed in a suit and hat, sits next to her, holding the reins of an automobile. The presence of the vintage car adds an element of intrigue to the image, as automobiles were still a novelty in the early 1900s. The black and white, nitrate negative image captures the essence of the era, with its vintage clothing, transport, and the contrast between the white dress of the actress and the dark clothing of the man. The image is a testament to the allure of Sarah Bernhardt, who was known as 'La Divine Sarah,' and her ability to captivate audiences both on and off the stage. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when automobiles were a new and exciting mode of transportation and fashion was a statement of individuality.
