EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Fontaine, Miss, 1916 Feb. 2' by Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1910s in America. The image features a young woman named Fontaine Evan Burrows, who is elegantly dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono, complete with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. With a graceful posture, she raises her arm in a dramatic gesture, holding a fan in her hand. The image, captured using glass negatives, adds to the timeless and nostalgic feel of the photograph. Fontaine is depicted in a full-length portrait, standing on a stage or perhaps a makeshift platform, surrounded by an empty space. Her costume, a beautiful example of traditional Japanese clothing, contrasts starkly with her modern American surroundings. The image suggests that Fontaine may have been performing a fan dance, a popular form of entertainment during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during this era, as well as the enduring appeal of traditional costumes and performance art. The image is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a wealth of historical and artistic treasures from the United States and around the world.
