EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black and white portrait photograph from the 1910s, Mrs. Henry B. Stimson, dressed in a traditional bridal costume, gazes directly at the camera with a hint of apprehension in her expression. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, the image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the early 20th century. Mrs. Stimson's bridal attire is a stunning example of the fashion of the time, featuring a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt. Her veil, draped elegantly over her head and cascading down her back, completes the classic bridal look. The interior setting of the photograph, with its ornate details and antique furnishings, further adds to the sense of timelessness and heritage. Despite the formal and traditional appearance of the photograph, Mrs. Stimson's direct gaze and stillness convey a sense of confidence and poise. The monochromatic palette of the image, with its contrasting white and black tones, adds to the overall sense of elegance and sophistication. This portrait is a testament to the power of photography to preserve history and evoke emotions, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of bridal fashion through the ages. Arnold Genthe's masterful use of light and shadow in this glass negative photograph showcases his exceptional skill as a photographer, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage portraits or fashion imagery. The Library of Congress is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its archives, where it continues to inspire and delight viewers today.
