EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Dernburg, B. Dr.", was captured by renowned German-American photographer Arnold Genthe on December 1, 1914. The subject of the image is a distinguished gentleman, identified as Dr. Dernburg, who is dressed in formal attire, including a dark suit and a white collar. The doctor's serious expression and piercing gaze add to the sense of authority and importance conveyed by the image. At the time this photograph was taken, Dr. Dernburg held a significant political position as the Minister of Finance in Germany. His qualifications and expertise in finance and economics likely contributed to his appointment to this role during a critical period in German history. The image reflects the fashion trends of the early 1910s, with the doctor's clothing embodying the classic, tailored look of the era. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, which was a common technique during the early 20th century. The resulting image is rich in detail and texture, with the doctor's facial features and the intricate patterns of his clothing standing out against the dark background. The image is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection held by the Library of Congress, which showcases the photographer's remarkable ability to capture the essence of his subjects and the historical context of the time. Today, this portrait serves as an important historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of German politics during the early 1910s and the fashion trends of the time. The image also highlights the skill and artistry of Arnold Genthe, who expertly captured the essence of Dr. Dernburg's character and position in this powerful and evocative portrait.
