EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the intense gaze of W.B. Longwill, a man of the early 20th century, dressed in formal attire that reflects the era's fashion trends. Taken between 1916 and 1925 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image showcases Longwill's frightened and apprehensive expression, adding an intriguing layer of mystery to the photograph. The man's starched collar and cuffs, waistcoat, jacket, and tie are all impeccably pressed, reflecting the high standards of the time. The glass negative used by Genthe further enhances the image's vintage appeal. The location of the portrait remains unknown, but the sense of unease on Longwill's face suggests that he may have been in a formal setting, perhaps even attending a congressional event or other important gathering. The alarm or fear in his eyes, combined with his direct gaze, draws the viewer in and invites them to ponder the reasons behind his frightened expression. This portrait is a testament to the power of photography to capture not just physical likeness but also the emotions and moods of the subjects. Genthe's skillful use of lighting and composition adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photography or American heritage art.
