EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Marion Morgan, an accomplished dancer, in the midst of a captivating performance between 1914 and 1927. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Marion with her eyes closed and her arms raised above her head, gesturing gracefully towards a musical instrument – a tambourine – that rests at her feet. Her dress, a beautiful example of early 20th-century fashion, flows around her as she stands with one leg slightly apart and her body poised in a graceful posture. The location of this performance remains a mystery, but the image exudes the charm and allure of the era. Marion's profile, with her head tilted back, adds to the enchanting atmosphere of the photograph. This full-length portrait, taken using glass negatives, is a testament to the rich heritage of American performing arts during the 1910s. The image, held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the historical record of the United States' artistic past. Arnold Genthe, a master of his craft, skillfully captured the essence of Marion's performance, immortalizing it in this timeless image. The contrast between the white and black elements, the intricate details of Marion's costume, and the subtle nuances of her expression all contribute to the enduring appeal of this vintage photograph. This image of Marion Morgan, a young and talented dancer, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of American dance and performance.
