EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Cisco, John Jay, Mrs." and dated June 22, 1915, was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a woman of great elegance and refinement, with an air of confidence and poise. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, held in place by a delicate headpiece, and her nose and profile are accentuated by the sharp contrast of light and shadow in the monochrome image. The woman's expression is serene and thoughtful, her eyes gazing off into the distance as if lost in deep contemplation. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a time of great social and cultural change in America, and the image reflects the era's emphasis on personal style and self-presentation. The photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, and was captured using glass negatives, a technique that was popular during the early 20th century. The image has been preserved in its original form, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Genthe's photographic artistry and the beauty of the subject's timeless appearance. Arnold Genthe was a pioneering figure in American photography, known for his portraits of prominent figures from the worlds of politics, literature, and the arts. This image of "Mrs. John Jay Cisco" is a testament to his skill and artistry, and a reminder of the enduring power of a well-crafted portrait to capture the essence of a person and the spirit of an era.
