EDITORS COMMENTS
Arnold Genthe's captivating portrait of the Dolly Sisters, Janka (left) and Rosie (right), captured in 1916, offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th century entertainment. The Hungarian-American duo, born as Johanna and Rosalia Reisinger in Hungary, rose to fame as singers, dancers, and actresses in vaudeville and on Broadway. Dressed in elegant, full-length apparel, the sisters exude confidence and charm in this black and white, studio portrait. Janka, with her expressive hand gesture and intricately patterned hat, seems poised to captivate an audience with her singing, while Rosie, with a demure smile, dons a simple yet elegant dress, ready for her next dance performance. This image, a testament to the sisters' enduring appeal, is a rare and valuable piece of American cultural heritage. Taken during the 1910s, it showcases the sisters' unique blend of European elegance and American spirit, as well as the evolving fashion trends of the time. As pioneering performers, the Dolly Sisters paved the way for future generations of entertainers and artists. This portrait, preserved in the Library of Congress, stands as a reminder of their significant contribution to the world of performing arts and their lasting impact on American culture.
