EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grace and elegance of Marion Morgan and an unidentified female dancer, as they perform an intricate dance routine on the terrace of a grand estate between 1914 and 1927. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back to a bygone era, showcasing the unique beauty of the 1910s and 1920s in America. Marion Morgan, an African American dancer, was known for her innovative and captivating performances, often blending traditional African dance with modern movements. Her striking wig and full-length costume add to the allure of this image. The second dancer, dressed in a white outfit, complements Marion's look, creating a striking contrast against the lush green garden backdrop. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering photographer, captured this moment on nitrate negative film, ensuring a high level of detail and contrast in the final image. The outdoor setting, with its beautiful foliage and the sun casting dappled light through the trees, adds to the sense of serenity and tranquility. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during the 20th century. The identical smiles and synchronized movements of the two dancers suggest a deep connection and understanding between them, making this image a truly timeless work of art.
