EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating portrait of the Dolly Sisters, Janka (left) and Rosie (right), taken in 1916, is a stunning testament to the allure and charm of the early 20th century performing arts scene in America. The sisters, hailing from Hungary, were a popular vaudeville act known for their unique blend of singing, dancing, and comedy. In this full-length, black and white studio portrait, the sisters stand side by side, dressed in simple, flowing dresses that accentuate their graceful figures. Their bare feet, peeking out from under their hemlines, add an earthy, natural element to the image. The sisters gaze intently at the camera, their expressions serious yet playful, inviting the viewer into their world. Genthe, a renowned German-American photographer, expertly captures the sisters' individuality and connection, highlighting their shared heritage and sibling bond. The image is a beautiful example of the body in motion, frozen in time through the medium of glass negatives. The Dolly Sisters' portrait is a valuable addition to the performing arts and entertainment section of the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s. This striking image is a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to transport us to another time and place, and the importance of preserving our history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
