EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the essence of youth and hope in the person of Mary, a young woman from America during the 1910s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, this image showcases Mary's direct gaze and confident demeanor, as she looks intently at the camera with a hint of a smile playing on her lips. Mary's fashionable attire, consisting of a crisp white blouse and a dark, knee-length dress, is both elegant and timeless, reflecting the changing trends of the era. Her carefully styled hair, swept back into an intricate updo, adds to her polished appearance. The photograph was taken using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 20th century, which allowed for exceptional detail and tonal range. The image, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of vintage portraiture and the power of a single photograph to transport us to another time and place. The image's simple yet profound composition invites us to contemplate the hopes and dreams of a young woman living in the United States a century ago, reminding us of the rich heritage and history that lies within the annals of American photography.
