EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Cumner, Gwendolyn, Miss," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1928. The image captures the essence of the 1920s era with its unique blend of modernity and tradition. The young woman, identified as Gwendolyn Cumner, gazes away from the camera with a thoughtful expression, her lips subtly adorned with lipstick. Her hair is styled in an intricate, elegant updo, with soft waves cascading down the sides. The contrast between her dark hair and her fair complexion is accentuated by the crisp, white collar of her blouse. The photograph was taken on nitrate negative, a popular medium for still photography during the early 20th century. The image's high contrast and sharp detail showcase Genthe's mastery of the medium. The location of the photograph is not known, but the young woman's refined appearance suggests a country estate or a grand urban residence. Genthe's portrait of Gwendolyn Cumner is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage photography. It invites us to ponder the woman's story and the era in which she lived, while also showcasing the artistry and technical skill of the photographer. This image is part of the vast and rich collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the importance of preserving our cultural heritage through the medium of photography.
