EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the melancholic gaze of Mrs. Eitig, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on October 23, 1915. The image, a glass negative, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the early 20th century, with Mrs. Eitig dressed in a formal, high-necked V-neck blouse and a voluminous skirt. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, with loose tendrils framing her face, adding to the overall sense of refinement. The concept of the portrait is simple yet powerful, with Mrs. Eitig looking up and directly into the camera lens, her expression conveying a deep sense of sadness and introspection. The monochromatic palette of the photograph, with its stark contrasts of white and black, further emphasizes the emotional depth of the image. As a historical artifact, this portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1910s, with its vintage clothing and hairstyles. It is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve the human experience. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, and serves as an important addition to the heritage of both photography and women's fashion history.
