EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on September 29, 1919, we see a young woman named Mary Pillsbury. Mary, who would later go on to serve as a US delegate to the United Nations General Assembly, poses confidently before the camera with an air of maturity beyond her years. The image captures Mary as a teenager, yet her poised demeanor and piercing gaze suggest a depth and wisdom beyond her age. The photograph is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress. Genthe, a renowned American photographer known for his glass negative technique, captured this image during the 1910s. The black and white composition adds to the timeless quality of the portrait, transporting us back to a bygone era. Mary Pillsbury, later known as Mary Stinson Pillsbury, was an accomplished woman who made history as one of the first female delegates to the United Nations General Assembly. Her service to her country and international community is a testament to her intelligence, determination, and courage. This portrait serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States and the remarkable individuals who have shaped its past and continue to influence its future. The image is a valuable addition to the vast collection held at the Library of Congress, which preserves the stories and memories of the American people. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the power of photography to capture the essence of a moment in time and the enduring legacy of the individuals who have left their mark on history.
