EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait photograph, titled 'Breckenfeld, Meta, Miss' and captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1913, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the early 20th century. Meta Breckenfeld, a young woman of her time, poses confidently in an intricately designed backless evening dress, her direct gaze challenging the viewer's perception. The monochrome image, with its crisp contrast and fine details, reveals the intricacies of the dress's texture and design, from the delicate beading on the bodice to the flowing folds of the skirt. The photograph was taken indoors, likely in a well-appointed home or studio, as evidenced by the ornate interior decor and the elegant glass negatives used by Genthe. Meta's posture, with her shoulders squared and her body held still, exudes an air of sophistication and poise. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of vintage fashion and the artistry of Genthe's photography. The photograph's composition, with Meta looking back over her shoulder, adds an element of mystery and intrigue, inviting the viewer to imagine the story behind the image. The black and white medium further enhances the timeless quality of the portrait, transporting us to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
