EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1899 and 1926 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back in time to the vibrant and rich cultures of Cuba and Guatemala during the early 20th century. In this image, a young girl in Guatemala is seen collecting water from a jar, her bare feet firmly planted on the earthen ground. The black and white nitrate negative captures the raw beauty and simplicity of the scene, as the girl's focus is on her task, oblivious to the world around her. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the daily struggles and realities of life during this era, particularly for children who were often tasked with collecting water for their families. The image also showcases the unique and diverse cultural heritage of Central America, with the girl's traditional attire and the rustic water jar adding to the authenticity of the scene. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, captured countless moments during his travels, documenting the people and places of Cuba and Guatemala with sensitivity and depth. This photograph, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to his skill and the enduring power of photography to transport us to another time and place.
