EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the essence of Mary Lawton, a young woman from America's early 20th century. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, the image showcases Mary in profile as she gazes upwards, her right arm raised and hand gesturing towards an American flag. The flag, with its distinctive stars and stripes, is prominently displayed behind her, adding a sense of patriotism and national pride to the photograph. Mary's elegant dress, with its high collar and flowing sleeves, is typical of the fashionable clothing of the time. The monochrome palette of the image highlights the intricate details of the fabric and the delicate textures of Mary's hair and skin. The glass negative technique used by Genthe adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a timeless piece of American heritage art. The location of the photograph is not known, but the image conveys a sense of stillness and introspection. Mary's posture and hand gesture suggest a sense of standard or ideal, making her an enduring symbol of the values and aspirations of the United States during the 1910s. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
