EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Dorothy Sharpneck, a young woman of the 1920s, as she sits elegantly with a graceful lean on her elbow. Dressed in a stylish blouse with a crisp collar and a full, flowing skirt, Dorothy's outfit is a testament to the fashion trends of the era. Her head is adorned with a delicate bow headwrap, adding a touch of sophistication to her look. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on March 2, 1929, this image is a stunning representation of the heritage and culture of the time. The nitrate negative, a common photographic process during the 20th century, lends an authentic and timeless quality to the photograph. The setting of the portrait is simple yet evocative, with Dorothy seated against a plain background, allowing her to be the undeniable focus of the image. Her expressive face, with its gentle smile and thoughtful gaze, invites the viewer to connect with her and to be transported back in time to the United States of the 1920s. This portrait is a precious addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and history of a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and charm of the past, and the power of a single image to capture the essence of a moment in time.
