EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mr. Harry Dornblaser" and dated March 11, 1918, captures the stoic gaze of a young American sailor named Harry Dornblaser during the First World War. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, is part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this image during a pivotal moment in history. The United States had entered the war in 1917, and the country was mobilizing its resources and manpower to support the war effort. The photograph shows Dornblaser in full military uniform, dressed in the standard-issue attire of the United States Navy. The sailor's crisp white shirt, dark trousers, and navy blue jacket are adorned with various insignia and buttons, reflecting his service and dedication to his country. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and clothing trends of the time, with Dornblaser's uniform representing the uniformity and discipline of the military during the war. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like Dornblaser during the First World War, a time of significant change and upheaval in American and world history. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, a common technique during the early 20th century. The resulting image, with its high contrast and sharp detail, showcases the skill and artistry of Genthe as a photographer. Today, the image remains an important part of the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a window into the past and a testament to the enduring impact of the First World War on American society.
