EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Edwin Bjorkman, a man of great intellect and distinction, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 4, 1914. The image showcases Bjorkman's formal attire, including a starched collar, coat, and tie, which were common in the professional and political circles of the United States during the early 1900s. Bjorkman, who hailed from Sweden, served as a translator and journalist, contributing to various publications in America. His direct gaze and introspective expression convey a sense of deep thought and focus. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, which were the standard for high-quality portraits during the 20th century. The photograph's monochromatic color palette adds to its timeless and classic appeal. Accessorized with glasses and a collar pin, Bjorkman's attire and demeanor exude an air of authority and sophistication. This portrait, now part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection, offers a glimpse into the fashion and cultural norms of the 1910s, providing a valuable historical record of a bygone era. Bjorkman's enduring image continues to captivate viewers, inviting them to ponder the man behind the lens and the stories he may have brought to life through his words and translations.
