EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sterling, George and Herman Scheffauer, with two other men, in front of a redwood," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1906 and 1911. The image features four men standing in front of a towering redwood tree, likely located in the United States. From left to right, the men are identified as George Sterling, a poet and dramatist; Herman George Scheffauer, a critic and author; and two unidentified individuals. Sterling and Scheffauer were both of German descent and made significant contributions to American literature and arts during the early 20th century. The men are dressed in casual attire, with Sterling wearing a flat cap and Scheffauer donning a head dress or headdress. The other two men are dressed in simple work clothes, possibly indicating their occupation in the forest industry. The group gazes directly at the camera with an air of confidence and camaraderie. The redwood tree, a symbol of nature's grandeur and heritage, serves as a stunning backdrop to the portrait. The image is a testament to the connection between the human experience and the natural world, as well as the diverse occupations and cultural backgrounds that shaped America during this era. This photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress' collection, is a nitrate negative and is an important addition to the heritage of American photography and literature.
