EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the introspective gaze of David Mannes, an educator and musician, as he holds a fiddle in his hands. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 28, 1916, the image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during the 1910s. Mannes, dressed in formal attire, exudes an air of sophistication and professionalism, making this an excellent example of a studio portrait from the era. The image was captured using glass negatives, a common technique during the early 20th century, which resulted in the high-contrast, shaded effect that adds depth and texture to the photograph. Mannes' occupation as a musician and educator is evident in his attire, which includes a collared shirt, vest, and tie, as well as the violin he holds. The violin, a stringed musical instrument, adds an additional layer of intrigue to the image, as it hints at Mannes' passion for music and the role it likely played in his teaching career. This portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art, as it captures the essence of a bygone era. The image is a reminder of the diverse and dynamic people who shaped the United States during the 1910s, and the important role that music and education played in their lives. The Library of Congress, a national institution dedicated to preserving American history and culture, is the current custodian of this remarkable photograph by Arnold Genthe.
