EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Schmitz, H. Mr." and created by renowned German-American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century. The subject, a well-dressed man with an air of sophistication, is captured in profile as he looks down, his expression thoughtful and introspective. The man's attire is that of a formal, well-to-do gentleman of the time. He wears a dark suit with a crisp white shirt, a black tie, and a vest. Over his jacket, he has draped a dark overcoat, the lapels of which are folded back, revealing the shirt and tie beneath. In his left hand, he holds a white handkerchief, which adds a touch of elegance to the ensemble. The man's hair is styled in a side parting, with a neatly combed-back hairstyle that was popular during the 1910s. His hair is slicked back, giving him a clean-cut and polished appearance. The photograph was taken using glass negatives, a common technique of the time, and the resulting image is rich in detail and texture. The portrait was taken in the United States, most likely in California, where Genthe spent a significant portion of his career. The image is now part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of this photograph as a historical artifact and a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the past.
