EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of Gordon Ross, a man of the early 20th century, as he sits before the camera of renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on March 18, 1914. Dressed in formal attire, Ross dons a dark suit, complete with a crisp white shirt and a neatly tied tie. A cigarette dangles from his right hand, adding an air of nonchalant sophistication to his demeanor. The setting of the photograph is simple yet elegant, with Ross seated against a plain backdrop, allowing the focus to remain solely on his expression and attire. The glass negatives used by Genthe in this era lend an intriguing texture to the image, adding depth and character to the already captivating scene. As a man of the United States during the 1910s, Ross embodies the fashion and style of the time. His well-tailored suit and dress coat, paired with a formal dress shirt and jacket, reflect the refined sensibilities of the era. The image, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and literature, offering a glimpse into the past through the lens of a master photographer. Genthe's direct gaze into the soul of his subject invites the viewer to ponder the thoughts and experiences that may have shaped Ross's expression. The image, timeless in its beauty and intrigue, continues to captivate and inspire, serving as a reminder of the power of a single moment in time, forever frozen in a still image.
