EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating black and white portrait of J.P. Morgan, taken between 1911 and 1913, offers a glimpse into the world of one of the most influential financiers of the early 20th century. Dressed in formal attire, complete with a crisp white shirt, dark waistcoat, and bow tie, the elderly Morgan exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His piercing gaze, fixed directly on the camera, invites the viewer to delve deeper into his enigmatic persona. At the time this photograph was taken, Morgan was in his late 70s and had already made a significant mark on American business and finance. Known as the 'Morgan Magic,' his financial prowess and shrewd business acumen had earned him the nickname 'The Wizard of Wall Street.' The image, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the photographer's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. The use of the autochrome process, an early color photography technique, adds an intriguing depth and richness to the monochromatic portrait. Morgan's impeccable clothing, which was the standard for businessmen of the era, reflects the importance placed on appearance and professionalism during this time. The photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, heritage, and history of the early 1900s.
