EDITORS COMMENTS
Desha Delteil, a young Slovenian woman, dances expressively in a garden in Port Washington, Nassau County, New York State, USA, on August 21, 1921. Captured in this timeless photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, Desha is seen leaning back with her arms outstretched, fully immersed in the moment as she performs a traditional dance. The flowing, full-length costume she wears adds to the ethereal quality of the image, transporting us back to the vibrant and carefree spirit of the 1920s. This rare and beautiful nitrate negative, now preserved in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the era and the enduring art of dance. Desha's captivating performance continues to inspire and delight viewers, reminding us of the power of art to transcend time and place.
