EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Daughter of Mrs. H Gamble, with cat,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 23, 1917. The image is part of Genthe's extensive collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., USA. The photograph captures a young girl, likely in her early teens, seated on a plush velvet chair, her gaze fixed on an unseen point beyond the camera. She wears a simple, high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, the folds of which cascade gracefully around her. A small, fluffy cat sits on her lap, its ears perked up and eyes fixed intently on the girl. The cat's fur is immaculately white, contrasting sharply with the girl's dark clothing and the rich, dark tones of the chair and background. The photograph is a beautiful example of Genthe's skill as a portrait photographer, capturing not only the likeness of his subject but also her personality and the bond she shares with her beloved pet. The image transports us back to a bygone era, evoking the warmth and comfort of a country home in the United States during the 1910s. Genthe's use of a glass negative process adds to the photograph's timeless quality, with the fine details and tonal range captured in the negative translating to stunning clarity and depth in the final print. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the portrait genre and the power of photography to capture and preserve moments in time.
