EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of Dr. William Wellington Knight as he looks directly at the camera. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on August 14, 1914, the image showcases Dr. Knight's formal attire, including a dark suit and crisp white shirt, which were popular fashion choices for men during the early 1910s in the United States. The doctor's academic regalia, adorned with his doctorate qualification, adds to the sense of authority and accomplishment. The photograph, which is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, was taken using a glass negative process. This technique, common during the 20th century, allowed for high-quality, detailed images with a wide tonal range. The location of the portrait remains unknown, but the image exudes a sense of seriousness and professionalism that was expected of doctors during this era. Dr. Knight's direct gaze and focused expression further emphasize his expertise and dedication to his field. As a historical artifact, this portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and societal expectations of the early 1900s in America. It also serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of Arnold Genthe, who captured the essence of his subjects with remarkable precision and depth.
