EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the enigmatic beauty of Marion Pierce, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1913. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases Marion in casual attire, wearing a loose-fitting brown bathrobe and a simple white blouse. Her long, dark hair cascades down her back, framing her delicate features. Marion's posture is confident and poised, with one hand resting on her hip, creating an air of self-assurance. Her expressive face reveals a hint of worry or contemplation, adding depth and intrigue to the image. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, captured this moment using glass negatives, a technique popular during the early 20th century. The resulting monochrome image showcases the subtle textures of Marion's clothing and the intricacies of her expressive features. The location of the photograph remains unknown, but the timeless quality of the image transports us back to a bygone era, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder. Marion Pierce, a young woman of her time, stands out as a captivating subject in this stunning portrait by Arnold Genthe.
