EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. James Dunn, captured in this evocative portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on August 3, 1918, embodies the elegance and sophistication of the 1910s. The monochrome image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Dunn's timeless beauty and impeccable style. Dressed in a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and voluminous skirt, Mrs. Dunn exudes an air of refinement. Her pearl necklace, a symbol of wealth and status, adds an extra touch of glamour to her ensemble. The intricate detailing of the necklace, with its delicate clasp and individual pearls, is captured beautifully in the glass negative. The location of the photograph is not known, but the image transports us to a bygone era of elegance and grace. Mrs. Dunn's expression is serene and poised, her eyes gazing off into the distance, lost in thought. The contrast between the white collar of her blouse and the black dress, as well as the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image, add depth and texture to the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, is known for his portraits of prominent figures from the worlds of politics, literature, and entertainment. This image of Mrs. James Dunn is a testament to his skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection, offering a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the United States during the early 20th century.
