EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Parker, Dorothy, portrait photograph, 1912 Nov. 30," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image captures Dorothy Parker, a celebrated author, poet, and satirist, in a half-length seated position. Dressed in elegant attire, Parker's expressive face and piercing gaze convey a sense of intelligence and wit, embodying the spirit of the 1910s in America. The portrait was taken during a pivotal time in Parker's life, as she was gaining recognition for her literary works and satirical pieces. Her distinctive hairstyle, with its short bob and neatly parted bangs, adds to the overall impression of the image. The portrait was captured in a studio setting, likely in the United States, and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the era. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, is known for his glass negatives and stunning portraits of notable figures from the arts, literature, and politics. This image of Dorothy Parker is a prime example of his skill and artistry, and serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on American literature. The portrait is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and enduring value. The image, with its timeless quality and striking composition, continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the art of photography and the legacy of Dorothy Parker.
