EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Birmingham Child," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on April 17, 1915. The image showcases a young girl, likely from Birmingham, Alabama, dressed in fashionable children's wear of the era. Her curly hair is styled neatly atop her head, framing her sweet face and rosy cheeks. The girl wears a collared blouse with a Peter Pan collar and a plaid jumper, both common articles of clothing during this time period. The photograph was taken in a studio setting, with a simple, plain background allowing the focus to remain on the child's expression and attire. Arnold Genthe, a German-American photographer, is known for his extensive work documenting the people and culture of the United States during the early 20th century. He is particularly famous for his glass negative photographs, which offer exceptional clarity and detail. This portrait of the Birmingham child is a beautiful example of Genthe's ability to capture the essence of childhood and the fashion trends of the 1910s. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, serving as an invaluable piece of American heritage art and social history.
