EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the confident and proud demeanor of Meysa, a young woman of the early 20th century, as she gazes directly at the camera with folded arms. The monochrome image, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916 or 1917, showcases Meysa's elegant attire, consisting of a buttoned blouse with cuffed sleeves and a fitted dress. Her hair is styled in an intricate do, adding to her refined appearance. Meysa's posture exudes a sense of self-assuredness and pride, as if she is ready to take on the world. The portrait, which is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time and the enduring allure of vintage photography. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives. His mastery of the medium is evident in the sharp contrast and clarity of the image, which has stood the test of time. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the portrait, making it a beloved piece of American heritage art. Meysa's portrait is a reminder of the strength and resilience of women throughout history, as well as a snapshot of a bygone era. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of human expression and the power of a single image to transport us to another time and place.
