EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and melancholic allure of Margaret Severn, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1923. The young woman, dressed in an elegant, flowing white dress with a veil, exudes an air of wistfulness as she looks away from the camera, her hand gently resting on her shoulder. The image, a nitrate negative from the 20th century, transports us back to the 1920s in America, a time of change and innovation. The dress, reminiscent of the popular apparel for dancers and performers during this era, adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing. The portrait was taken against a plain background, allowing the subject's expressive features and the intricate details of her costume to take center stage. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture the essence of a moment in time and preserve it for future generations.
