EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait photograph, titled "Dolly Sisters" and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, showcases the enchanting duo, Janka Deutsch (left) and Rosie Deutsch, also known as the Dolly Sisters. Hailing from Hungary, the Dolly Sisters were a popular act in the early 20th century, known for their unique blend of singing, dancing, and intricate beadwork. In this image, the sisters don stunning traditional Hungarian apparel, adorned with intricate beadwork and embroidery. Janka wears a long, flowing beaded dress, complete with a beaded cap and headpiece, while Rosie dons a shorter, more fitted dress, accessorized with a beaded necklace and a striking headdress. Their clothing, reminiscent of their homeland's rich cultural heritage, adds to their allure and mystique. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured the sisters in black and white, using glass negatives to preserve their image for generations to come. The sisters' expressive faces and confident poses exude a sense of joy and connection, making this photograph a timeless piece of entertainment history. The Dolly Sisters' career spanned various professions, from singing and dancing to modeling and acting. They graced the stages of vaudeville theaters and even performed for Congressional events. This portrait, now part of the Library of Congress' extensive collection, serves as a testament to their enduring legacy in the performing arts.
