EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 23, 1927, captures the elegance and sophistication of Mrs. Allerton S. Cushman. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Cushman's elegant hairstyle, adorned with a pearl and diamond hairpiece that cascades down her back. Her intricately pinned updo, a popular hairstyle of the 1920s, frames her face, drawing attention to her piercing gaze and expressive features. Mrs. Cushman's pearl necklace, a timeless accessory, adds an air of refinement and class to her outfit. The monochromatic palette of the photograph, with its crisp contrasts and subtle tonal variations, highlights the intricacies of her jewelry and the intricacies of her textured, layered dress. The location of the portrait is not specified, but the image exudes an aura of wealth and privilege, fitting for a woman of the upper class during the 1920s in America. The glass negative, a testament to the technical mastery of Genthe's photography, captures every detail with remarkable clarity and precision. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, is known for his portraits of prominent figures from the worlds of politics, art, and society. This portrait of Mrs. Allerton S. Cushman is a testament to his skill and artistry, offering a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 1920s in the United States.
