EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Jacobi, Mme.' and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1929, offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 1920s in the United States. The image captures a woman, identified as Madame Jacobi, standing in an exterior setting, with her back to the camera, as she gazes out into the distance through a doorway. The woman wears a traditional dress, adorned with intricate sleeve designs and a high neckline, which were popular during this era. The dress, which is reminiscent of the vintage clothing and apparel that characterized the 1920s, is in stark contrast to the modern, sleek lines and minimalist designs that would come to define fashion in the decades that followed. The photograph, which is a nitrate negative, was taken outside, likely in the United States, and showcases the woman's elegant posture and poised demeanor. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 20th century and the enduring allure of the 1920s. The use of black and white in the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, and the woman's rear view and the doorway in the background create an intriguing sense of mystery and intrigue. Overall, this portrait photograph by Arnold Genthe is a beautiful and evocative reminder of a bygone era, and a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve history.
