EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1918 and 1920, showcases three Elsie Dufour dancers in a moment of joy and camaraderie during a performance. The trio, dressed in simple, flowing costumes and barefoot, exude a sense of ease and grace as they hold hands and smile at each other on a dimly lit stage. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American amusement and the human body in motion. The Elsie Dufour Dancers were a popular dance troupe during the 1910s in the United States, known for their lively and energetic performances. Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, expertly captures the essence of their art, with the dancers' bodies in full length and the stage setting providing a sense of location and context. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the image's historical significance and timeless quality. This photograph is a reminder of the simple pleasures and enjoyment that dance has brought to people throughout history, and the enduring allure of the human body in motion. The image invites us to reflect on the role of dance in our culture and the importance of preserving our artistic heritage for future generations.
