EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Dorothy Ely, a young woman from the United States, was captured between 1914 and 1917 by the renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image, a testament to the 20th century's artistic heritage, showcases Dorothy in a full-length pose, standing before a transparent, see-through backdrop. Her hands are delicately placed behind her head, and she gazes directly at the camera with an enigmatic expression. The photograph, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural changes in America. Dorothy's direct gaze and unconventional pose challenge the societal norms of the time, making this image a standout piece in Genthe's oeuvre. Arnold Genthe, known for his glass negatives and innovative techniques, masterfully captures the essence of Dorothy's youth and vitality. The image, though monochromatic, is rich in detail, revealing the intricacies of her clothing and the subtle textures of the backdrop. This portrait of Dorothy Ely is a striking example of the artistic vision and technical prowess of Arnold Genthe. It invites us to ponder the complexities of identity, femininity, and the human experience during a pivotal moment in American history.
