EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled "Dunning, Mr. daughter of," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on July 9, 1925. The image depicts a young woman, identified as Ms. Dunning, sitting in a chair with a sulky expression on her face. Her hair is styled in an intricate, vintage do, with loose curls framing her face and cascading down her back. The hairstyle was a popular choice during the 1920s, reflecting the era's emphasis on glamour and femininity. Ms. Dunning's attire is simple yet elegant, with a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt. She gazes away from the camera, her eyes downcast, giving the impression of a troubled or introspective young woman. The photograph was taken at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., where it is now housed as part of the Genthe collection. The image is a nitrate negative, a common photographic process used during the early 20th century. The use of this process, along with the monochromatic palette, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. The image is a poignant reminder of the heritage and history of American portrait photography during the 1920s. Despite the woman's seemingly troubled demeanor, the photograph is a beautiful and evocative work of art, showcasing the skill and artistry of Arnold Genthe. The image invites the viewer to ponder the story behind the woman's expression and to consider the emotions and experiences that may have shaped her countenance on that July day in 1925.
