EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 9, 1918, captures the image of Mr. Sylvester Labrot in the midst of the First World War. Dressed in full military regalia, Mr. Labrot stands tall and proud, exuding a sense of determination and resilience. The image was captured during the final months of the war, a time when the outcome was uncertain, and the sacrifices of the American people were at their peak. Mr. Labrot's uniform consists of jodhpurs, a type of riding breeches that were popularized by British cavalry officers during the early 20th century. The leather leggings and puttees, used to secure the bottom of the trousers to the boots, were also common military accessories during this period. The combination of these elements creates a unique and distinctive military fashion statement of the time. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of Arnold Genthe's works held by the Library of Congress. It is a testament to the photographer's ability to capture the essence of the era and the people who lived through it. The image is a valuable addition to the heritage of American history and a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The use of a glass negative process adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a true work of art that transcends the boundaries of time and continues to captivate viewers even today.
