EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mr. William J. Roberts," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on September 13, 1918. The image is a testament to the rich historical heritage of the United States during the 1910s. Mr. Roberts, a distinguished gentleman of the era, is depicted in the photograph with a serious yet approachable expression. He is dressed in formal attire, complete with a crisp shirt, tie, and jacket. His facial hair, consisting of a well-groomed mustache and sideburns, frames his angular jawline. The photograph captures the unique texture of his facial hair, as well as the subtle details of his pince-nez glasses, which rest precariously on the bridge of his nose. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, a popular method during the early 20th century. The resulting image showcases the high contrast and sharp detail that is characteristic of this technique. The image is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection housed in the Library of Congress. The location of the photograph is not specified, but the image conveys a sense of quiet confidence and authority. Mr. Roberts' intense gaze and strong posture suggest a man of influence and power. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of Americans during a pivotal time in history. Arnold Genthe was a prolific photographer, known for his portraits of prominent figures and everyday people. This image of Mr. William J. Roberts is a prime example of his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making it a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection.
