EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, taken by Arnold Genthe on March 31, 1914, captures the enigmatic and intellectual presence of the renowned Irish poet, William Butler Yeats. The image, now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time long gone. Yeats, dressed in formal attire, dons an overcoat, collared shirt, and a pince-nez spectacle, adding to his distinguished appearance. His hair, slicked back and neatly parted, contrasts with his piercing, introspective gaze. The photograph, taken during the 1910s in the United States, showcases the fashion trends of the era, with Yeats embodying the refined and sophisticated style of the time. As a celebrated author and poet, Yeats was a man of many talents and occupations. He was a member of the Irish National Theatre Society and the Abbey Theatre, and served as a senator in the Irish Free State from 1922 to 1925. This portrait, however, captures him in a more private moment, allowing us to connect with him on a deeper level. Genthe, a renowned American photographer, expertly captured the essence of Yeats, immortalizing him in this stunning image. The photograph serves as a testament to the rich heritage of both Irish and American arts and literature, and a reminder of the enduring influence of Yeats' work on the literary world.
