EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, showcases the facade of a grocery store in either New Orleans, Louisiana, or Charleston, South Carolina. The image transports us back in time to the bustling streets of the American South during the 1920s. The building's intricate architectural details, with its ornate brickwork and decorative cornices, are accentuated by the contrast between the light and shadow cast by the sun. A fire hydrant, a common sight on the streets of the era, sits quietly at the curb, ready to protect the buildings from potential fires. The pavement in front of the store is worn from years of foot traffic, while the shop windows display an array of goods that would have enticed passersby. The grocery store, with its simple signage and inviting shop front, invites us to imagine the daily routines of the people who once frequented this establishment. This photograph, part of the Arnold Genthe collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of American architecture and the vibrant history of the Southern United States during the 20th century. Taken on nitrate negative, the image retains a stunning level of detail and depth, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of America's cities and the everyday life of the 1920s.
