EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the elegant and refined presence of Mrs. Lena Davis Willits McKinney, second wife of American engineer Hart Ostheimer Berg. The photograph was taken by renowned German-American photographer Arnold Genthe on June 12, 1919. Mrs. McKinney's expressive eyes and confident posture convey a sense of intelligence and strength, while her elegant clothing and intricately styled hair reflect the fashionable trends of the 1910s. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of documentary and portrait photography, captured this image as part of his extensive collection. The photograph is a glass negative, which was a common technique used during the early 20th century for producing high-quality, detailed images. This particular image is a testament to Genthe's skill as a photographer, showcasing not only the subject's beauty but also the artistic vision and technical expertise that went into creating the photograph. Mrs. McKinney's portrait is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, which holds an extensive and diverse range of American art and artifacts. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of American women during the 1910s and the social and cultural context of the time. Overall, this portrait is a beautiful and captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers today.
