EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enchanting presence of Dorothy Ely, a young woman of the early 1910s, as immortalized by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. Taken between 1914 and 1917, this image showcases Dorothy in an elegant off-the-shoulder dress, her hands clasped demurely on her chest, her posture exuding a sense of quiet confidence and introspection. The intricately styled hairdo, with its voluminous curls pinned up, adds to the overall allure of the photograph. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this moment in time using glass negatives, a technique that lends the image a timeless, almost ethereal quality. Dorothy's direct gaze, as she looks straight at the camera, invites the viewer into her world, transporting us to a bygone era of grace and refinement. This portrait, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, serves as a poignant reminder of the fashion and style of the early 20th century in the United States. The image's monochromatic palette, with its intriguing contrasts of white and black, further enhances its enduring appeal and makes it a cherished piece of heritage art.
