EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enigmatic beauty of Justine Johnston, a young woman of the early 20th century. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, the image showcases Justine looking down with a thoughtful expression, her blonde hair styled in an elegant, intricately braided updo. The portrait was taken during the 1910s, a time of great social and cultural change in the United States. The photograph is part of the vast collection held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a treasure trove of American heritage art and historical records. This particular image is a testament to the power of photography to capture a moment in time, preserving the essence of a person and their era. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, is known for his innovative use of glass negatives, which allowed for exceptional detail and clarity in his images. The resulting photograph is a stunning example of his skill and artistry. Justine's outfit, with its high neckline and long sleeves, reflects the modesty and conservatism of the time, while her piercing gaze and expressive posture suggest a strong and independent spirit. The contrast between the private, intimate moment captured in the portrait and the public, historical record it has become is a testament to the enduring power of photography to evoke emotion and inspire reflection. This monochromatic masterpiece invites viewers to ponder the life and experiences of Justine Johnston, a young woman of the past whose image continues to resonate with us today.
