Desha and Leah, 1921
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. This image, taken in Port Washington, Nassau County, New York State, United States, showcases two young women, Desha and Leah Delteil, dressed in elegant 1920s apparel, holding hands and dancing in a beautiful garden setting. The sisters, Delteil Desha and Leja Delteil, are of Slovene heritage, adding an intriguing cultural element to the image. Their expressive poses and joyful connection radiate a sense of playfulness and unity. The photograph, a nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture during the 1920s. The concept of the image is timeless, capturing the essence of sisterhood, family, and the simple pleasure of dancing. The women's full-length dresses, with their intricate patterns and flowing fabric, add to the overall allure of the photograph. The image is a rare and precious piece of history, now preserved in the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American heritage art. The black and white medium, a hallmark of Genthe's work, lends an air of nostalgia and authenticity to the image. The location, with its lush greenery and picturesque backdrop, serves as the perfect setting for this heartwarming moment in time. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving our history, and the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire wonder.
