EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Miss Margaret Kahn," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on March 20, 1923. The image was taken at the address of 100 5th Ave. in New York City. Margaret Dorothy Wolff Kahn, born in 1895, was an American socialite and benefactor who became a significant patron of the Metropolitan Opera during the 1920s. Kahn, also known as Nin Kahn and Margaret Dorothy Wolff Ryan, was a young woman of great beauty and elegance, as evidenced in this striking portrait. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured Kahn's essence with his camera, using a nitrate negative to create this timeless image. The photograph is part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. During the 1920s, Kahn emerged as a prominent figure in New York City society, known for her philanthropy and support of the arts. Her patronage of the Metropolitan Opera was particularly noteworthy, and she continued to be an influential figure in cultural circles until her death in 1972. This portrait of Margaret Kahn offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the elegance of a bygone era. The image is a testament to the power of photography to preserve history and the enduring legacy of Arnold Genthe as a master of the medium.
