EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Unidentified woman, possibly Miss Dickey," was taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 16, 1917. The image captures a young woman in her prime, exuding confidence and charm as she gazes directly into the camera lens. The woman is dressed in fashionable attire of the era, with a long-sleeved dress adorned with intricate beading and a striking fox fur collar. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, accentuating her delicate features and high cheekbones. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural changes in America. The use of glass negatives in photography was becoming increasingly popular, allowing for greater detail and clarity in images. The fashion industry was also undergoing rapid transformation, with women's clothing becoming more feminine and ornate. The location of the photograph is unknown, but the woman's refined appearance suggests that she may have been from the upper classes. Her direct gaze and confident posture convey a sense of self-assuredness and sophistication, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the past. Arnold Genthe was a pioneering figure in American photography, known for his innovative techniques and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of the unidentified woman, possibly Miss Dickey, is a testament to his skill and artistry, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States in the early 20th century.
