EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black and white portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe in 1913, we encounter the enigmatic figure of Jolliffe, Virginia. The young woman, dressed in the height of 1910s fashion, gazes away from the camera with a worried expression etched upon her face. Her brown hair is styled in a sophisticated updo, with loose tendrils framing her delicate features. The dress she wears is a beautiful example of the era's ladieswear, with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a full skirt that flows gracefully around her slender frame. The photograph was taken during a time when the United States was undergoing rapid social and cultural changes. The country was becoming increasingly urbanized, and traditional values were being challenged by new ideas and innovations. Yet, despite the modernity of the setting, Jolliffe's portrait exudes a sense of timelessness and nostalgia. The image is a testament to the artistry of Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer known for his glass negatives and innovative techniques. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects, and to reveal the complexities of their emotions, is evident in this hauntingly beautiful portrait of Jolliffe, Virginia. The photograph is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American heritage and culture. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and diversity of the United States, and the enduring power of photography to capture the human spirit. As we gaze upon Jolliffe's worried countenance, we are transported back in time, to a place of innocence and wonder. We are reminded of the universality of human emotions, and the power of a single image to evoke a myriad of feelings and memories. This portrait of Jolliffe, Virginia, is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of photography as an art form, and a window into the past.
