EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Carmen Karline, a dancer and performer of the early 20th century, as she gazes confidently into the camera lens. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1917, the black and white image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s. Carmen's elegant attire, consisting of a flowing white dress adorned with intricate black detailing and a headband, exudes an air of pride and sophistication. The dress, reminiscent of the flapper style popular during this era, is both fashionable and timeless. The glass negative photograph, with its high contrast and sharp focus, showcases the intricacies of Genthe's artistic vision and technical skill. The setting of the portrait is unclear, but the image suggests a sense of performance or preparation for one. Carmen's intense gaze and proud posture convey a sense of confidence and determination, making her an intriguing and captivating figure. The portrait is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the world of performing arts during the 1910s in the United States. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, is known for his portraits of prominent figures of the time, as well as his documentation of social and cultural events. This portrait of Carmen Karline is a testament to his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and preserve their stories for future generations.
