EDITORS COMMENTS
Fontaine, Miss, 1916 Feb. 2: A captivating portrait of Evan Burrows Fontaine, a street vendor from Fontaine, Mississippi, captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. In this evocative image, Fontaine is shown in a full-length pose, standing on a dusty street with her back against a wooden wall. She wears a simple, striped dress that reveals her bare feet, which are delicately positioned with one hand resting on her head. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the scene, adding to the timeless quality of the photograph. Fontaine's posture and expression suggest a sense of calm and resilience, as if she is deeply connected to the land and the rhythms of rural life. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of a woman who, despite her humble occupation as a street vendor, exudes an air of dignity and grace. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering photographer known for his glass negatives and documentation of American life during the early 20th century, captured this moment in history with remarkable skill and sensitivity. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, serving as an enduring testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture.
