EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, titled "Lansdowne, H.B. Mrs." and created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in August 1914, offers a glimpse into the fashion and elegance of the early 20th century. The subject, a woman of refined beauty, dons an intricately designed dress with a high collar and long sleeves, accessorized with a pair of pince-nez glasses. Her white hair is styled in an elegant updo, and her direct gaze into the camera exudes confidence and sophistication. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique popular during the 1910s. The photograph showcases the contrast between the woman's white hair and her dark clothing, adding to the timeless appeal of the image. The Library of Congress houses this precious piece of heritage art, which serves as a reminder of the fashion trends of the past. The woman's clothing, with its high neckline and long sleeves, reflects the conservative fashion sensibilities of the era. Her pince-nez glasses, a popular accessory during this time, add a touch of vintage charm to the photograph. This portrait photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of a single image to transport us back in time. It invites us to reflect on the evolution of fashion and the timeless beauty of a direct gaze into the camera.
