EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures Mrs. Emerson, the sister of the renowned American philosopher and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson, on May 8, 1916. Taken by the acclaimed German-American photographer Arnold Genthe, this glass negative image showcases Mrs. Emerson's melancholic demeanor as she looks down, her expressive profile etched with the subtle lines of sadness. The fashionable woman wears a high-necked blouse, the collar adorned with intricate lace detailing, and a long, flowing dress with a full skirt that billows softly around her figure. Her hair is elegantly styled in an updo, with loose tendrils framing her face and cascading down her back. The hairstyle, popular during the 1910s, accentuates her refined and sophisticated appearance. This poignant portrait, preserved in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to ponder the depths of Mrs. Emerson's emotions and the intricacies of early 20th century fashion.
