EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enchanting presence of Carmen de Gonzalez, a Spanish dancer who captivated audiences in the United States during the early 1910s. Taken on July 12, 1913 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this black and white image finds Carmen standing in a doorway, dressed in traditional Spanish attire. The delicate fabric of her dress billows softly around her, while a headband adorned with colorful flowers sits atop her dark, expressive hair. Carmen's intense gaze, fixed on some unseen point above, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. Her hands are clasped in front of her, adding to the sense of stillness and contemplation. The doorway behind her, with its intricate glass panes and ornate detailing, further emphasizes the sense of Old World charm and tradition. This photograph is a testament to the power of performance and the enduring allure of the arts. Carmen de Gonzalez was a trailblazer, bringing the rich heritage of Spanish dance to American audiences at a time when such cultural exchange was still relatively rare. Today, her image remains a captivating reminder of a bygone era, and a celebration of the beauty and diversity of the human spirit. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, and was captured using glass negatives. It is a valuable addition to the annals of American history, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts to transport us across time and place.
