EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wanger, Beatrice, Miss, 1918 or 1919" by Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1910s in America. The young woman, identified as Beatrice Wanger, stands alone on a stage, dressed in an elegant yet simple white dress with a veil draped over her head. Her arms are outstretched, as if inviting us into her world or perhaps expressing a sense of despair. The image, captured as a nitrate negative, showcases the intricacies of Genthe's photography skills, with the contrast between the white dress and the dark background adding depth and dimension. The location of the photograph is unclear, but the image suggests a theatrical or performance setting. Beatrice's expression is serious, her gaze fixed on the ground, adding an air of mystery to the image. The concept of the photograph is intriguing, with the juxtaposition of the nakedness of her arms and the covered modesty of her dress, challenging societal norms of the time. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 20th century, and a reminder of the power of photography to capture a moment in time. The Library of Congress in the United States is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful image in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry of Arnold Genthe and the fashion of the 1910s.
