EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the youthful charm and optimism of Ruth Seymour in an elegant 1917 photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image, taken on April 2 of that year, showcases Ruth's cheerful expression and direct gaze as she confidently looks at the camera. The young woman wears a fashionable dress with a high collar and intricate detailing, reflecting the fashion trends of the era. Her hair is styled in an attractive, vintage hairstyle, adding to the timeless appeal of the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this moment using glass negatives, a technique that was popular during the early 20th century. The image, now held in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the enduring allure of vintage portraits. Ruth Seymour's portrait embodies the spirit of the era, with its blend of fashion, optimism, and the simple joy of being captured on film. The image invites us to reflect on the past and the enduring power of a single photograph to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place.
