EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. L.R. Burch, captured in this elegant portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in February 1919, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. The monochrome image, a glass negative from the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Burch dressed in a chiffon blouse and embroidered dress, both in white and black, that were popular fashion choices during the 1910s. The intricate needlework on her dress adds a touch of elegance and delicacy to the outfit. The portrait was taken against a plain background, allowing the focus to be solely on Mrs. Burch and her attire. The high collar and long sleeves of her blouse, along with the flowing chiffon fabric of her dress, were typical of the modest and feminine styles prevalent during this era. The use of black and white in the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a beautiful representation of fashion from the early 20th century. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, is known for his portraits of prominent figures from the arts, politics, and society. This portrait of Mrs. L.R. Burch is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and the fashion trends of the time. The image is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage and the fashion sensibilities of the past.
