EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Woman sitting on steps holding a basket, New Orleans, between 1920 and 1926,' captures a moment of quiet contemplation in the bustling city of New Orleans during the Roaring Twenties. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, the image presents a striking contrast between the elegant architecture of the building and the simple, everyday life of the African American woman depicted. Dressed in a flowing, patterned dress, the woman sits on the steps of a grand, ornate house, her basket of goods at her side. The building's intricate details, including its columns, balconies, and wrought iron railings, are accentuated by the play of light and shadow created by the sun. Behind her, a group of men and women, both African American and Caucasian, engage in various activities on the street, adding to the vibrant energy of the scene. The photograph, which is part of the Library of Congress' collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life of New Orleans during this period, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and diversity of the city. The use of a nitrate negative adds to the image's historical significance, as this photographic process was popular during the early 20th century but has since been largely replaced by more modern techniques. Arnold Genthe, a German-American photographer, was known for his documentation of American life, particularly in the southern United States. This photograph, with its timeless composition and poignant subject matter, continues to captivate viewers and offer insights into the past.
