EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mellon, Alsa, Miss," was taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 26, 1924. The image captures Alsa Mellon, a young and affluent socialite of the 1920s, dressed in the height of fashionable women's wear of the time. Alsa's elegant attire includes a long-sleeved dress with a high neckline, adorned with intricate beadwork and a pearl necklace, which adds to her air of sophistication and wealth. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, with a parting that sweeps to one side, and her expression is one of quiet introspection as she looks away from the camera. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, expertly captures the essence of the era with this timeless image. The photograph is a testament to the glamour and affluence of the United States during the 1920s, and serves as an important historical record of American social and cultural history. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress and was taken on nitrate negative, adding to its historical significance and value. Alsa Mellon, who later became known as Ailsa Mellon Bruce, was a prominent philanthropist and socialite in her own right, and this portrait captures her in her prime, embodying the grace and elegance of the era. The photograph is a beautiful example of the art of portrait photography and serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States during the 20th century.
