EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Travel views of the American Southwest, between 1899 and 1928" by Arnold Genthe, captures the unique beauty and character of the American Southwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image showcases a series of exterior views of various buildings and structures, primarily made of adobe and mud brick, located in the arid regions of the United States. The collection, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the rich heritage and history of this distinctive part of America. The buildings, some adorned with intricate brickwork and others simple in design, stand proudly against the vast, open desert landscapes. One particular image in the series features a church, its white walls and steeple reaching towards the clear blue sky. The church, a symbol of Christianity and the enduring presence of religion in the American Southwest, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people who settled in this region. The photograph was taken using a nitrate negative, a common photographic process during the early 1900s, resulting in the striking contrast between the dark and light areas in the image. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. The American Southwest, with its unique architecture and diverse landscapes, has long been a source of fascination and inspiration for photographers and travelers alike. Arnold Genthe's "Travel views of the American Southwest, between 1899 and 1928" offers a captivating and enduring record of this remarkable part of the United States.
