EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Helen Lyons, Miss" and dated between 1917 and 1921, showcases the grace and poise of young Helen as she balances on one leg with her arms outstretched. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, captures a moment of stillness and concentration during a dance performance. Helen, dressed in elegant attire, exudes confidence and balance as she stands on one leg, her other leg bent at the knee and foot hovering just above the ground. Her arms are extended to the sides, creating a dynamic and open posture that adds to the sense of movement and fluidity. The photograph was taken during the 1910s or 1920s, a time when dance was a popular form of entertainment and self-expression in America. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering photographer known for his innovative techniques and ability to capture the essence of his subjects, expertly captures the essence of Helen's performance. The nitrate negative, which adds to the image's vintage appeal, further enhances the timeless quality of the photograph. This photograph is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American heritage and art. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural history of the United States and the enduring power of photography to capture moments in time.
