EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of American teenage girlhood in the 1910s, as depicted in Arnold Genthe's photograph "Daughter of Mrs. Andrew Welsh" from 1917. The young girl, dressed in a long velvet dress with a high collar and intricate lace detailing, gazes intently at the viewer with a serious expression. Her long, flowing hair is styled in soft waves, framing her face and accentuating the delicate features of her youth. The photograph is a poignant representation of the era's fashion trends, with the velvet fabric and lace detailing reflecting the influence of Victorian-era aesthetics. The girl's jewelry, including a delicate cross pendant, adds an element of religious symbolism to the image, further emphasizing the role of Christianity in American culture during this time. The photograph is a glass negative from the Arnold Genthe Collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, captured countless moments of American life during the early 20th century, leaving a rich visual record of the country's history and heritage. This portrait of a teenage girl in her Sunday best is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of Genthe's work, as well as the fashion and cultural traditions of the time.
