EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Miss M. Wertheimer, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The young woman, dressed in a high-necked blouse and fitted skirt, gazes off to the side with a thoughtful expression, her arms folded across her chest. The image, part of Genthe's extensive glass negative collection, is a poignant representation of the fashionable and independent spirit of the 1910s in America. Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) was a pioneering figure in American photography, known for his innovative techniques and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. In this portrait, Genthe masterfully employs the medium of photography to convey a sense of timelessness and introspection. The setting, likely the Library of Congress where many of Genthe's works are housed, adds to the image's historical significance. Miss M. Wertheimer's posture and facial expression suggest a woman deep in thought, lost in her own world. Her fashionable attire, with its high collar and fitted silhouette, reflects the trends of the era. The image invites the viewer to contemplate the woman's story, her thoughts, and her place in history. This vintage portrait is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture the human experience and preserve it for future generations.
