EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and formal elegance of W.J. Burns Jr., taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917. The image showcases Burns seated, with his hands folded neatly in his lap, dressed in a formal suit and tie. The high-collared jacket, with its distinct lapels and buttons, is accessorized with a crisp white dress shirt and a dark bow tie. The young man's posture is impeccable, exuding an air of confidence and sophistication. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 20th century. The portrait was taken at an undisclosed location, adding to the intrigue and mystery surrounding the subject. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring allure of classic portraiture and the fashion trends of the 1910s. The monochromatic color palette of the image, with its stark contrasts between light and shadow, highlights the intricacies of Burns' clothing and the subtle details of the photograph itself. The young man's direct gaze into the camera adds an intimate connection between the subject and the viewer, making this portrait a captivating glimpse into the past.
