EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on May 19, 1917, Dr. H.C. de Vere Cornwell gazes directly at the camera with a confident and determined expression. Dressed in formal attire, Dr. Cornwell wears a dark suit and white shirt, his crisp collar and cuffs adding to his air of professionalism. The doctor's dark tie and vest are contrasted by a light-colored waistcoat, adding visual interest to the monochromatic image. Dr. Cornwell's doctorate is evident from the letters "M.D." embroidered on the lapel of his jacket. The doctor's degree signifies his achievement in the medical field, adding to his esteemed status. The portrait was taken during the early 1900s, a time when the fashion for men's clothing was characterized by tailored suits and formal attire. The portrait was taken at a location that is not identified in the metadata, but the image is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress. Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured this still image using a glass negative process, resulting in a high-quality, detailed image. Despite the passage of time, the image of Dr. Cornwell remains a testament to the fashion and style of the early 1900s, as well as a reminder of the importance of education and qualifications in achieving professional success. The direct gaze of the doctor adds a sense of connection and intimacy, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to engage with the image on a deeper level. Overall, this portrait is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of America during the 1910s.
