EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Severn, Margaret, Miss, 1920 May 21," was created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image captures the expressive and graceful form of Margaret Severn as she bends forward at the waters edge, her bare feet sinking into the soft, golden sand. The scene takes place at an unspecified coastal location during the 1920s in the United States. Margaret, dressed in a flowing white garment and adorned with a veil, exudes an air of mystery and allure. Her arms are raised and bent at the elbow, creating a dynamic and fluid movement that adds to the overall sense of performance and artistry. The image was captured as a still moment in time, yet the energy and vitality of the dancer shines through. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, expertly utilized the nitrate negative process to create this stunning, high contrast image. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture during the 20th century, and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and power of the human form in motion. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of history in its vast collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and be inspired by. The photograph invites viewers to contemplate the concept of the body in motion, and the connection between the individual and the natural world. Whether viewed as a work of art, a historical document, or a simple moment of beauty, "Severn, Margaret, Miss, 1920 May 21" continues to captivate and intrigue.
