EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Valbel, Henri, Mr.,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on April 30, 1917. The subject, Henri Valbel, is depicted in formal attire, leaning on an elbow, with a thoughtful expression on his face. His suit, complete with a starched collar and buttoned cuffs, is accessorized with a tie and a coat, adding to the overall air of sophistication. Valbel's hair is neatly parted in the middle, with a center or a side parting being popular styles during the 1910s. The glass negative image reveals intricate details, such as the buttons on his jacket and coat sleeves, and the fine texture of his shirt. Henri Valbel was likely an actor or a thespian, given the formal setting of the photograph. The portrait exudes an aura of elegance and refinement, fitting for someone in the entertainment industry during the early days of cinematography and moving pictures in America and France. The image, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, is a testament to the heritage of both fashion and photography during the 20th century.
