EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Gaston Ernest Liebert, the Consul-General of France in New York City during the aftermath of World War I. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on May 27, 1919, the image showcases Liebert's distinguished appearance, with his neatly groomed beard and gold braid adorning his military uniform. The embroidered details on his apparel, featuring intricate metallic threads, add an air of elegance and prestige. Liebert's uniform, complete with medals and ribbons, symbolizes his dedication and service to his country during the First World War. The portrait, part of the extensive Arnold Genthe collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the 1910s, with its emphasis on formal attire and attention to detail. The Consul-General's portrait, taken against a neutral background, highlights the subject's strong and confident demeanor. The glass negative, a testament to the technical prowess of Genthe, captures the subtle textures and intricacies of the uniform and Liebert's facial features. This image serves as a reminder of the diplomatic ties between France and the United States during a pivotal time in history, as well as the rich cultural heritage and artistic legacy of the 20th century.
