EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Herundean, Helen, Miss," was taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on October 12, 1916. The image captures a young woman named Helen Herundean, who is dressed in a flowing caftan, with one arm delicately placed on her head and the other hand slightly peeking out from the sleeve. Her bare feet are visible, adding to the earthy and natural feel of the photograph. Helen's posture and expression suggest a sense of introspection and contemplation, as if she is lost in thought or in the midst of a theatrical performance. The setting of the photograph is unclear, but the glass negatives used by Genthe lend an air of mystery and intrigue to the image. The photograph is a beautiful example of the fashion trends of the 1910s in America, with the caftan being a popular choice for young women at the time. The contrast between the white fabric of the caftan and Helen's dark hair and the black and white tones of the photograph create a striking visual effect. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of heritage art, which serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history of the United States during the early 20th century. The image invites viewers to ponder the stories and experiences of the people of the past, and to appreciate the artistry and skill of Arnold Genthe as a photographer.
