EDITORS COMMENTS
Scene from Sanctuary, A Bird Masque, by Percy MacKaye: A Captivating Moment from the Meriden Bird Club Rehearsal in New Hampshire, 1913 In this evocative black-and-white photograph by Arnold Genthe, we witness a captivating moment from the rehearsal of Percy MacKaye's A Bird Masque, held at the Meriden Bird Club sanctuary in New Hampshire in 1913. The image, a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and entertainment, depicts a female performer in deep concentration, her eyes closed, as she stands still in the midst of a serene garden setting. The scene exudes an air of drama and mystery, as the performer seems to be lost in the concept of her character, oblivious to the world around her. The image, taken during the rehearsal for the first performance of the play, captures the theatrical essence of MacKaye's work, which was renowned for its innovative blend of drama, music, and dance. The photograph, a nitrate negative from the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the arts held a special place in American culture. The image, with its stunning use of contrast and composition, is a reminder of the enduring power of the performing arts to captivate and inspire. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, expertly captured this moment, using his camera to preserve a piece of history that continues to resonate with audiences today. The image, with its timeless quality, stands as a testament to the power of the arts to transport us to another world, even as we stand rooted in our own.
