EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Mary Lawton, a young woman from America's heartland, in the early 1910s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, this full-length image showcases Mary's unique and intricately beaded outfit, which shimmers with an otherworldly glow against the plain, dark background. The beadwork, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, adorns not only her dress but also her fur-trimmed shawl and the beaded purse she holds in her hand. Mary's voluminous, full-skirted dress, with its high waistline and delicate embroidery, reflects the fashion trends of the era. Her overcoat, trimmed with a luxurious-looking fur, adds an air of sophistication and warmth to her attire. Mary's expression, as she looks away from the camera, exudes a sense of quiet introspection and mystery. This image, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American fashion and the artistry of Arnold Genthe's photography. The use of glass negatives ensures a high level of detail and clarity, allowing us to appreciate the intricacies of Mary's beadwork and the textures of her clothing. This portrait, with its timeless beauty and evocative qualities, continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than a century after it was taken.
