EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Shawn, Ted, Mr. 1916 Mar. 17,' is a stunning work of art by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. Taken in the 1910s, the image showcases two men, identified as Edwin Myers Shawn and Ted Shawn, standing in front of a soft furnished background. Both men are dressed in unique costumes that reflect the era's fashion trends - Shawn is wearing a long cloak and Mr. Shawn is in a leotard and bare feet. The men exude an air of regality and poise, with Shawn gesturing towards the curtain behind him, suggesting a performance or a rehearsal. The use of a glass negative technique adds to the vintage feel of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The contrast between the metallic curtain and the soft furnishings, as well as the play of light and shadow, adds depth and texture to the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of performing arts in America during the 20th century. The men's bodies are depicted in full length, highlighting the importance of physicality and movement in dance and performance. The image is a still moment in time, yet it speaks volumes about the passion and dedication of the performers. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of vintage art and is a must-have for anyone interested in American history, fashion, and performing arts. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Arnold Genthe.
