EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Leslie, Margeurite, and friends, in automobile, 1917 Aug. 18,' captures a moment of leisure and excitement as four friends enjoy a ride in an automobile. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1910s, an era of rapid technological advancements and social change. The scene unfolds on a picturesque country road, with the friends seated comfortably in the backseat of a vintage car. Margeurite and Leslie, two elegant women dressed in the height of fashion, gaze out of the window, their expressions filled with anticipation and joy. The two men in the front seat, a chauffeur and possibly their male companions, focus intently on the road ahead. The setting is idyllic, with beautiful houses and buildings visible in the background, their white facades contrasting starkly against the lush green foliage. The image is a testament to the allure of the open road and the freedom it offered during this period. The photograph, a nitrate negative, is a stunning example of Genthe's ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The image is not only a glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of the automobile and the sense of adventure it brings. The Library of Congress in the United States is the current custodian of this heritage art piece, and it serves as an invaluable addition to their extensive collection of historical photographs. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of transportation, the 1910s, or simply the beauty of a bygone era.
