EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled "Lieutenant Parker, baby of," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on February 8, 1911. The image showcases a young boy, identified as Lieutenant Parker, sitting confidently in a chair, dressed in a collared shirt and suspenders, with a serious expression that belies his tender age. The boy's direct gaze into the camera adds an air of uncertainty and intrigue, inviting the viewer to ponder the young boy's thoughts and dreams. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography during the 1910s, a time when portrait photography was a popular means of capturing the essence of individuals and families. This particular image, with its high contrast and sharp detail, was likely captured on nitrate film, a common medium for portrait photography during this era. The location of the photograph is uncertain, but it is clear that the boy is of American heritage, as evidenced by his attire and the setting. The image is a poignant reminder of the innocence and wonder of childhood, a time of exploration and discovery that shapes the course of our lives. Arnold Genthe was a prolific photographer, known for his ability to capture the human spirit and emotion through his images. This portrait of Lieutenant Parker is a prime example of his skill and artistry, a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
