EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the young and proud Phyllis Shearson, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on September 22, 1914. The image, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the early 20th century in America, shows Phyllis standing confidently before the camera, dressed in a simple yet elegant bathrobe. The soft folds of the robe, coupled with the crisp white collar, create a striking contrast against the dark background. Phyllis' direct gaze, unwavering and unapologetic, adds an air of intensity and depth to the photograph. Her posture, with one hand resting casually on her hip, exudes an aura of pride and self-assurance. The glass negative technique employed by Genthe lends the image a timeless quality, with the subtle tonal variations and intricate details adding to its visual appeal. The portrait was taken during a pivotal period in American history, a time of great social and cultural change. The image of a young woman, standing still and proud, serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and the enduring power of a single photograph to capture a moment in time. This image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the artistry of Arnold Genthe and the enduring allure of vintage photography. The simple yet powerful composition, combined with the rich historical context, makes this portrait a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, photography, or the American experience.
