Desha and Leah, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image depicts two sisters, Desha and Leah Delteil, engaged in an expressive dance move on the lush green grass of a garden. The sisters, dressed in elegant turn-of-the-20th-century apparel, exude a sense of balance and harmony as they look down at each other, their arms gracefully extended in perfect unison. This timeless photograph, taken in Port Washington, Nassau County, New York State, United States, is a beautiful representation of the 1920s era. The sisters' vintage costumes, reminiscent of the fashion of the time, add to the authenticity of the image. The location, with its picturesque lawn and idyllic setting, further enhances the charm of the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, expertly captures the sisters' grace and connection, making this image a true work of art. The photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress' collection, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the enduring beauty of the human spirit. The image, taken as a nitrate negative, is a still image that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. Desha and Leah Delteil, two Slovene sisters, bring to life the concept of sibling love and connection through their expressive dance move. This photograph, taken in the twenties, is a reminder of the importance of family, tradition, and the arts in our lives. It is a treasure of American history and a must-see for anyone interested in the performing arts, fashion, or the 20th century.
