EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Lucy Feagin, a pioneering drama teacher and founder of the Feagin School of Dramatic Art in New York City, is captured in this elegant portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 20, 1919. The image, a glass negative, showcases Miss Feagin in a full-length satin dress with a silk overlay, the rich textures of which are accentuated by the high contrast of the monochrome composition. The dress, with its flowing lines and intricate detailing, reflects the fashion trends of the 1910s and the sophistication of the era. Miss Feagin's hand gesture, with its open palm and slight tilt, suggests a sense of openness and invitation, fitting for a woman who dedicated her life to the education and development of young actors. The portrait, a precious artifact from the 20th century, is now part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the legacy of both the photographer and the extraordinary woman he captured on film.
