EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fuller, Lois, Miss, 1918 May," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in the 1910s. The image captures the essence of the liberated spirit of the era, as young women embraced newfound freedom and expression. Lois Fuller, the subject of the photograph, is depicted in a full-length portrait, dressed in a billowing, white and black dress with a veil and scarves draped around her. Her eyes are closed, lost in the moment as she jumps gracefully in a garden setting. The dress, with its flowing lines and dramatic silhouette, reflects the fashion trends of the time, which emphasized individuality and movement. The photograph was taken on nitrate negative film, a common medium for still photography during the early 20th century. The image's high contrast and rich detail showcase Genthe's mastery of the medium. The location, likely a private estate or garden, adds to the dreamlike quality of the portrait. Lois Fuller's pose and attire suggest a connection to the world of dance, which was experiencing a renaissance during this period. The image can be seen as a representation of the cultural and social changes taking place in the United States during the 1910s, as women's roles and expectations began to shift. This photograph is part of the vast collection of Heritage Images, housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. It is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time and preserve it for future generations to appreciate and study.
