EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. Fletcher, C.B." and dated April 17, 1916, was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a woman, identified as Mrs. Fletcher, confidently gazing directly into the camera with a subtle yet expressive hand on her heart. Her attire is a striking contrast to the contemporary fashion of the time, as she dons a traditional Oriental kimono adorned with intricate patterns and a tunic top, accessorized with a belt and a pair of elegant sandals. The woman's posture exudes a sense of serenity and grace, as she stands tall and still for the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image using a glass negative process, resulting in an exquisite level of detail and tonal range. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of both Eastern and Western fashion trends during the 1910s. The image is part of the vast collection held at the Library of Congress and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of traditional clothing and the art of portrait photography.
