EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. Clarence E. Smith," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 15, 1914. The image showcases a proud and elegant woman, dressed in fashionable attire of the early 1910s. The woman wears a high-necked blouse with intricate lace detailing and a full, voluminous skirt that flows gracefully around her. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with soft curls framing her face and cascading down her back. The woman's expression exudes confidence and pride, making for a truly captivating portrait. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, is known for his innovative use of glass negatives and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Mrs. Clarence E. Smith is a prime example of his skill, showcasing not only the woman's physical beauty but also her inner strength and poise. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the time, with the high collar and full skirt being popular choices for women's clothing during the early 1910s. The black and white format adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage images or historical records. This portrait is part of the vast and rich collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of American heritage and culture. It serves as a reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, style, and social norms of a bygone era.
