EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the elegance and allure of Vera Cravath, an enigmatic young woman of the 1910s. Taken on June 29, 1917 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Vera's intricately braided hair, adorned with a pearl necklace and a jeweled hat with a mitre design. Her long, flowing locks are pulled back from her face, drawing attention to her expressive features and piercing gaze. Vera's clothing is reminiscent of the fashionable trends of the era, with a fitted dress that accentuates her slender figure and a hat that adds a touch of sophistication. The photograph was taken during a time when women's fashion was evolving rapidly, with an emphasis on comfort and practicality alongside the desire to look elegant and refined. Vera's outfit and hairstyle reflect this dichotomy, with her dress revealing a hint of modernity while her braided hair and jeweled hat harken back to more traditional styles. This portrait is a testament to the artistry of Arnold Genthe, who expertly captured the essence of Vera's character and the spirit of the times. The image is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of American photography and a captivating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the early 20th century.
