Miss Greta Garbo, portrait photograph, 1925 July 27: A Timeless Icon of Silent Film Era This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Greta Garbo, the Swedish-born Hollywood actress who became a global sensation during the 1920s. Taken on July 27, 1925, at the Commodore Hotel in New York City, this photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe immortalizes Garbo in her prime. Born as Greta Lovisa Gustafsson on September 18, 1905, in Stockholm, Sweden, Garbo arrived in America in 1924, and her film debut in "The Temptress" marked the beginning of her meteoric rise to stardom. Known for her captivating screen presence and mysterious persona, Garbo quickly became an icon of the silent film era. In this portrait, Genthe masterfully captures Garbo's enigmatic charm and her striking features, with her piercing gaze and enigmatic smile. The photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of both the artist and the subject, as well as the golden age of Hollywood. The image is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection, housed in the Library of Congress. The collection, which includes over 20,000 photographs, is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American history, particularly in the fields of entertainment, performing arts, and cinematography. This photograph, with its rich heritage and historical significance, invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring power of art and cinema to captivate and inspire.
