EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Miss Hollister, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The image, a glass negative from the 20th century, showcases the young woman in a simple yet elegant dress, her hair styled in an intricate updo that was popular during the 1910s. Her gaze is directed away from the camera, adding an air of mystery and introspection to the photograph. The portrait was taken in the United States, likely in Hollister, Mississippi, and is a testament to the fashion trends and cultural norms of the time. The dress, with its high neckline and long sleeves, reflects the modest and demure fashion sensibilities of the early 1900s. The contrast between the white dress and the dark background further emphasizes the subject's delicate features and understated beauty. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, is known for his innovative techniques and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Miss Hollister is a prime example of his skill, showcasing her timeless elegance and the uncertainty of the era in which she lived. The image is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of both the photographer and the subject.
