EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Dickerson, Master and Sister,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 5, 1916. The image transports us back in time to the early 1910s in the United States, as we gaze upon the Dickerson family in their drawing-room setting. The young master, dressed in a formal suit and tie, sits confidently on a plush armchair, his eyes meeting the camera with a steady gaze. His sister, adorned in a delicate lace collar and long, flowing dress, sits demurely on the floor at his feet. The siblings' contrasting attire highlights the gender roles of the time, with the boy embodying the authority and seriousness of adulthood, and the girl representing the innocence and grace of childhood. The interior of the room is equally captivating, with its ornate furnishings, intricate woodwork, and large bay window that lets in the soft, natural light. The room's country charm and cozy atmosphere add to the sense of warmth and familiarity, making this image a poignant reminder of the past. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time, make this portrait a true treasure of American heritage art. The Dickerson family's timeless image invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of the United States, and the enduring bonds of family that transcend generations.
