EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Edna St. Vincent Millay at Mitchell Kennerley's house in Mamaroneck, New York, 1914," is a stunning autochrome image captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image transports us back to the early 1910s in America and offers a glimpse into the life of the celebrated poet and playwright, Edna St. Vincent Millay. Millay, dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, stands outside in the lush garden of Mitchell Kennerley's country home in Mamaroneck, New York. Kennerley, her publisher and close friend, had invited her to spend the summer at his estate. The serene setting is adorned with magnolia trees and other vibrant plants, creating a picturesque backdrop for the portrait. Millay, known for her feminist and feminist-leaning poetry, exudes a sense of tranquility and creativity as she gazes off into the distance. The image captures her in a moment of contemplation, perhaps inspired by the natural beauty surrounding her. The use of the autochrome process, an early color photography technique, adds depth and richness to the image, enhancing the overall visual impact. The photograph is a testament to the close relationship between Millay and Kennerley, who played a significant role in promoting her work and helping her establish a successful literary career. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of nature as a source of inspiration for artists and writers, and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
