EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Bessie Ricardo, a young woman of the early 1910s, as she gazes off into the distance with a hint of happiness in her eyes. The image, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Bessie's elegant attire, which includes a simple yet stylish brown dress adorned with a delicate white headband and a lei. The dress, reminiscent of the fashion trends of the time, is complemented by her long, wavy brown hair, which is artfully arranged in a classic hairstyle. The photograph, captured in black and white, exudes a timeless quality that transports us back to a simpler era. The setting, most likely in the United States, is not explicitly stated but can be inferred from the Americana feel of the image. The use of glass negatives lends an authenticity to the photograph, making it a valuable addition to the Heritage Images collection and a testament to the rich fashion history of the 20th century. Bessie's youthful and radiant appearance, combined with her understated yet elegant accessories, makes this portrait a standout piece of heritage art. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the evolution of fashion and the enduring beauty of a simple, happy moment in time.
