EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mr. Houghton" and dated June 11, 1918, was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image is part of Genthe's extensive collection held at the Library of Congress. Mr. Houghton is depicted in profile, dressed in formal attire typical of the 1910s. He wears a crisp white shirt with a high collar, known as an Eton collar, which was a popular fashion choice during this era. The collar is fastened with a black bow tie, adding a touch of sophistication to his outfit. His hair is neatly combed back, revealing a parting that was also a common hairstyle of the time. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, which accounts for the exceptional clarity and detail in the image. Mr. Houghton's young, handsome features are accentuated by the contrast between the white collar and his dark hair and suit. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the subject to stand out. The portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century in America. It also serves as a testament to Genthe's skill as a photographer, whose work continues to capture the attention of historians, art enthusiasts, and collectors alike.
