EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic charm of Elsie Ferguson, an American actress who rose to prominence during the 1910s in the burgeoning film industry. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on August 10, 1917, showcases Ferguson in an elegant sitting position, her hands delicately folded in her lap. She wears a fashionable fur-trimmed cape and a stylish dress with a high collar, accessorized with a chic hat adorned with a ribbon. Ferguson's expressive posture and thoughtful gaze add depth to the image, as if she is lost in deep thought or contemplation. The photograph was likely taken during a break from her acting engagements, as she gained recognition for her captivating performances on the silver screen. The image is a testament to the evolving fashion trends of the time, with the classic ladieswear and intricate hairstyles reflecting the elegance and sophistication of the era. The portrait is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and the rich history of American entertainment. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in cinematography and photography, expertly captured the essence of Ferguson's personality and the spirit of the times in this timeless image. The photograph is a reminder of the enduring influence of the arts and the power of a single image to transport us to another era.
