EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Platt, Charles, Mrs." and created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, showcases the elegance and sophistication of a woman of the early 20th century. The subject, dressed in a high-necked blouse with intricate lace detailing and a voluminous, flowing skirt, exudes an air of haughty refinement. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with delicate curls framing her face and cascading down her back. The glass negative captures every detail of her intricate hairstyle and the textures of her clothing, adding to the timeless allure of the image. The portrait was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant changes in fashion and societal norms. The woman's traditional yet stylish attire represents the transitional period between the Edwardian era and the Roaring Twenties. The monochromatic palette of the photograph, with its striking contrasts of white and black, adds to the vintage feel and enhances the sense of nostalgia. The Library of Congress houses this precious piece of heritage art, a testament to the enduring beauty and historical significance of Genthe's work. The portrait invites us to take a glimpse into the past, to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of a bygone era, and to marvel at the timeless elegance of a woman's profile.
