EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on January 7, 1916, showcases the elegance and grace of Laetitia Sorrell Irwin, then known as Mrs. Wallace Irwin. The full-length image captures her in a stunning bridal gown, the intricate details of which are accentuated by the crisp, glass negative technique. The backdrop, simple yet effective, allows the focus to remain solely on the subject and her exquisite attire. Laetitia, dressed in the fashion of the 1910s, wears a white and black wedding dress, a popular choice during this era. The dress, with its high collar, long sleeves, and full skirt, epitomizes the romantic and timeless beauty of the bridal wear of the time. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage fashion and the artistry of Arnold Genthe. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, expertly captures the profile of Mrs. Irwin, her expression a perfect blend of serenity and joy. The portrait, with its monochromatic colour palette, evokes a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us back in time to an era of elegance and sophistication.
