EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Jean Gibson, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in October 1917. The image, a testament to the fashion trends of the era, showcases Gibson's elegant attire. She wears a long, flowing dress adorned with a fur stole and a stylish hat with a hatpin securing a veil. The intricate detailing of her clothing and accessories adds to the allure of the photograph. Gibson's posture and expression convey a moody and contemplative demeanor. Her hand resting on her heart suggests a deep thought or inner emotion. The background, though not distinctly visible, adds to the sense of timelessness and mystery. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives. The high contrast between the white and black elements in the photograph is a characteristic feature of his work. The image is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of this heritage art. The portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1910s in the United States, with its emphasis on intricate clothing and accessories. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the era, a time of change and evolution in American society.
