EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait, titled "Mary" by Charles I. Berg, captures the essence of devotion and reverence with its depiction of a woman posed as the Virgin Mary. Dating back to the early 1900s, this photograph is a testament to the enduring influence of Christianity in American culture during the 20th century. The subject wears a flowing veil and holds a halo, symbolizing her divine status. Her solemn expression and the soft focus of the image add to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere. Charles I. Berg, a skilled photographer of the era, expertly employed platinum prints to create this exquisite work of art. The use of this photographic process, popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, resulted in a high-contrast, tonally rich image that perfectly captures the ethereal quality of the scene. This portrait, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the time. The image invites contemplation and reflection, transporting the viewer to a bygone era when faith and artistry intertwined in the fabric of American society.
