EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 27, 1919, captures the distinguished visage of Gaston Ernest Liebert, the Consul-General of France in New York City during the aftermath of the First World War. The image showcases Liebert's formal attire, including an embroidered military uniform adorned with gold braid and metallic threads. The intricate needlework on the uniform adds an air of grandeur and importance to the image. Liebert's position as Consul-General placed him at the forefront of French-American diplomatic relations during a pivotal time in history. The First World War had recently come to an end, and the United States was becoming increasingly involved in international affairs. Liebert's role as a diplomat required him to dress in formal military uniform, signifying his country's commitment to maintaining a strong military presence and diplomatic relations with other nations. The photograph, which is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century. The use of black and white film adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the history of the 1910s or the First World War. The portrait also highlights the concept of heritage art and the importance of preserving historical images for future generations. The image of Gaston Liebert, with his serious expression and impeccably dressed uniform, serves as a reminder of the significant role diplomats played in shaping international relations during a time of great change and upheaval.
