EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on July 24, 1917, captures Dr. F.H. Coerr in profile, donning a formal suit and a bowler hat. The doctor, with a serious yet thoughtful expression, gazes off into the distance, his left hand resting on the arm of his chair. The image, part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the early 20th century in the United States. Dr. Coerr's attire, with its high collar and crisp, clean lines, reflects the formal dress codes of the time. The doctor's degree, signified by the academic gown draped over the back of his chair, further emphasizes his professional qualifications. The photograph's composition, with the doctor's face taking up a significant portion of the frame and the dark background, draws the viewer's focus to the subject, emphasizing his importance and authority. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using a glass negative process, resulting in the high contrast and sharp detail that characterizes this photograph. The image's monochromatic palette, with its intriguing interplay of light and shadow, adds to its timeless appeal, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical American portraits.
