EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Desha and Leah dancing in Port Washington, 1921 Aug. 21," is a stunning work of art by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image transports us back to the 1920s in the United States, specifically to Port Washington, Nassau County, New York. The two sisters, Desha and Leah Delteil, are shown in a full-length pose, dressed in elegant clothing of the era. Desha, with her arms outstretched and head thrown back, appears to be lost in the moment, while Leah, standing on one leg, looks up with a joyful expression. The sisters' expressive postures and the flowing fabric of their dresses add to the dynamic energy of the image. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and authenticity. This photograph is a beautiful representation of the performing arts during the 1920s and the bond between two sisters. The image is a treasure in the Library of Congress collection and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during the 20th century.
