EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Thyra, a young woman, taken by the renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on May 5, 1914. The black and white image, titled "Dagma, Thyra, Miss," exudes an air of melancholic apprehension as Thyra stands before a glass doorway, dressed in a long, flowing nightgown or dressing gown. Her expression is one of fear and alarm, her eyes wide with fright, as if she has been startled or caught off guard. The contrast between the stillness of Thyra and the ominous darkness of the doorway creates a sense of unease and suspense. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this hauntingly beautiful image during the early 1910s. The photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of Genthe's work. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of American photography and the power of a single still image to evoke emotions and transport us to another time and place. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion of the era, with Thyra's nightgown or dressing gown a common piece of apparel for women during the early 20th century. The contrasting colors of white and black add to the overall mood of the image, creating a striking visual effect that continues to captivate and intrigue viewers to this day.
