EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the youthful charm of Rice, Virginia, a young woman of the early 20th century. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, the image showcases Rice in a simple yet elegant sleeveless dress, accessorized with a belt and a stylish hairstyle that was popular during that era. With a direct gaze and a hint of a smile, Rice engages the viewer, inviting them into a moment frozen in time. The photograph is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s in the United States, a period marked by the emergence of women's rights and changing social norms. The dress Rice wears, with its high neckline and fitted waist, reflects the shifting attitudes towards femininity and the increasing emphasis on individuality and self-expression. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique that allowed for exceptional clarity and detail. The resulting photograph is a stunning example of the artistic vision and technical skill of the photographer. The portrait of Rice, Virginia, is a valuable addition to the vast collection of heritage art at the Library of Congress. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and the fashion of a bygone era. The image is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the enduring power of photography to preserve history and capture the essence of a moment in time.
