EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. Davies" and dated October 21, 1917, was captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a woman of great elegance and refinement, with an enchanting profile that draws the viewer in. Mrs. Davies is depicted wearing an intricately styled updo, which accentuates her delicate features and the texture of her hair. The hairstyle, popular during the 1910s, was a symbol of femininity and sophistication in that era. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, which were the standard photographic medium during the early 20th century. The monochrome palette of the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. Mrs. Davies' expression exudes a sense of calm and poise, making this portrait an enduring testament to the beauty and grace of the woman who sat for Genthe that day. The photograph is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of this heritage art form and the legacy of Arnold Genthe as a master photographer.
