EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Breese, James, Mr. standing outdoors, 1931," is a captivating portrait of an elderly man named James Breese, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image was captured in the early 1930s, during the depths of the Great Depression, and the setting reflects the simplicity and modesty of the era. James Breese is depicted standing outdoors, likely in his garden or yard, with a direct gaze towards the camera. He is dressed in a formal suit, which adds an air of respectability and tradition to the image. The man's posture is relaxed, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets, giving the impression of a man at ease in his own surroundings. Despite the title, there is a subtle hint of grumpiness or introspection in Breese's expression, which only adds to the intrigue of the photograph. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, capturing a moment in time that speaks to the heritage and history of America during the 1930s. The photograph was taken as a nitrate negative, which lends a unique texture and tonality to the image, enhancing its vintage appeal. The location is not specified, but the image is part of the collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., making it an important addition to the country's cultural heritage. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful example of Genthe's skill as a portrait photographer, capturing the essence of a man and a moment in time that has stood the test of time.
