EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Lucy Patterson, captured in this stunning portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on December 7, 1918, presents an elegant and timeless image of a woman from the Roaring Twenties. The monochrome image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Miss Patterson in a full-length dress that embodies the fashion trends of the era. The dress, made of scalloped taffeta and velvet, features a classic A-line silhouette with a fitted bodice and a full skirt. The scalloped edge of the dress adds a delicate and feminine touch, while the velvet ribbon at the waist accentuates Miss Patterson's figure. The dress is completed with a bow at the back, adding an element of sophistication and charm. Miss Patterson's apparel is a testament to the rich textile heritage of the United States during the early 20th century. The use of high-quality materials such as taffeta and velvet was common during this period, and the intricate design of the dress reflects the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into creating fashionable clothing. The portrait also provides a glimpse into the social and cultural context of the time. The location of the photograph is not known, but the elegant attire suggests that Miss Patterson was likely from a wealthy or influential background. The use of a glass negative further highlights the importance of photography as a means of preserving history and capturing the essence of a bygone era. Arnold Genthe's portrait of Miss Lucy Patterson is a beautiful example of the fashion and artistry of the 1910s in America. The image not only showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era but also provides a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich textile heritage and fashion trends that continue to influence contemporary design.
