EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Ellis, Havelock, Mrs.," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1914. The image features Edith Mary Oldham Ellis, an English author and women's rights advocate, who is seen looking away from the camera with a thoughtful expression. She is dressed in a simple yet elegant bathrobe, adorned with a patterned design, and her short, wavy hair is styled in a fashionable bob. At the time of this photograph, Ellis was a prominent figure in the literary world and an advocate for women's rights. Her occupation as a writer is reflected in her refined and intellectual appearance. The image was taken in England, and the country's influence is evident in the classic, timeless style of the portrait. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, which were the standard method for producing high-quality photographs during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the artistic vision and technical skill of Genthe, who expertly captured the essence of his subject and the era in which she lived. This portrait of Edith Ellis is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social norms of the 1910s. The image is a reminder of the rich history of photography and the important role it plays in preserving the stories and memories of the past.
