EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, titled 'Birmingham, Alma, Miss,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 10, 1914. The image showcases a young woman named Alma, hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, who gazes directly at the camera with an enchanting expression. The black and white image, taken as a glass negative, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 1910s in the United States. Alma's attire is a testament to the intricate and detailed craftsmanship of the era, with a beaded dress adorned with embroidery and needlework. The dress features a high neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice, accentuating her slender figure. The beadwork on the dress is intricately designed, with a variety of colors and patterns, adding an alluring texture to the image. Her hair is styled in an elegant updo, with delicate curls framing her face, and a few strands cascading down her back. The hairstyle of the time was a popular choice for formal occasions, adding to the overall elegance of the photograph. The image is a significant addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of America during the early 20th century. The direct gaze of Alma, combined with her fashionable attire, makes this portrait a timeless piece of art, evoking a sense of nostalgia and wonder.
