EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Colonel Armstead" and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 3, 1918, captures the essence of the 1910s and the era of the First World War. The Colonel is depicted in full length, standing confidently before a plain backdrop, dressed in his military uniform. His attire includes jodhpurs, a long-sleeved shirt, and a heavy coat, accessorized with a belt, boots, and a hat. The high-quality boot, with its distinctive carriage shape and laced-up design, is a noteworthy element of the image. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this moment in history with exceptional skill, using a glass negative to preserve the intricate details of the Colonel's uniform and the subtle textures of his clothing. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits. The Colonel's serious expression and strong posture convey a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the spirit of the United States during the First World War. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like the Colonel during this pivotal period in American and world history. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of heritage art in its extensive collection, preserving it for future generations to study, appreciate, and learn from. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the role that individuals played in shaping the world we live in today.
