EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Marion Morgan dancers in the early 1900s, during a performance outdoors between 1914 and 1927. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases the dancers in their identical costumes, holding hands and walking in a line, with their faces expressing a sense of concentration and unity. The setting is a lush garden, with the dancers surrounded by vibrant greenery and the sun casting dappled light through the trees. The dancers' dresses, reminiscent of the fashion of the time, are simple and elegant, adding to the timeless quality of the image. The photograph, taken as a nitrate negative, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. The Marion Morgan dance troupe was known for its unique blend of traditional and modern dance styles, and this photograph captures a moment of beauty and grace in their performance. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the enduring power of the still image to transport us to another time and place.
