EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Dorothy Smith, a young woman of the 1910s, as she gazes directly into the camera lens with a hint of nervousness in her expression. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 18, 1917, the image showcases Dorothy's elegant hairstyle, with her slicked-back brown hair framing her face and accentuating her delicate features. The portrait was taken using a glass negative process, a technique popular during the early 20th century, and the resulting image exudes an air of vintage charm and nostalgia. Dorothy's attire, with its high collar and intricate detailing, reflects the fashion trends of the time, while her shy demeanor adds to the allure of the photograph. The location of the portrait remains unknown, but the image is a testament to the enduring power of Genthe's artistry and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. As a prominent figure in American photography, Arnold Genthe's work is an invaluable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, and this portrait of Dorothy Smith is a prime example of his skill and artistry. The image invites viewers to ponder the story behind Dorothy's gaze and to appreciate the beauty and timeless quality of this portrait.
