EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Seibel, Ernani, Miss, 1919 June 21," captures the enigmatic and captivating presence of Ernani Seibel as she performs a dance move with a graceful hand gesture. The image, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in the 1910s, showcases Seibel in a full-length, back view, dressed in a revealing, form-fitting costume that highlights her slender figure. The dark background and the use of chiaroscuro lighting add depth and drama to the image, making Seibel stand out as a bold and daring performer. The photograph, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a nitrate negative, a testament to the technical mastery of Genthe's craft. The image transports us to a bygone era, evoking the spirit of the United States in the 1910s, a time of cultural and artistic experimentation. Seibel's confident and unapologetic stance challenges societal norms and pushes the boundaries of what was considered acceptable for a woman to wear and express in public. The image is a rare and valuable piece of American heritage art, showcasing the beauty and power of the human form in motion. Seibel's performance invites us to appreciate the artistry and skill of the dancer, as well as the vision and talent of the photographer who captured her in such an evocative and enduring way.
