EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the radiant beauty of Clara Fargo on her wedding day in 1915. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on January 15 of that year, the image showcases Clara standing full-length against a simple backdrop, her elegant bridal gown cascading down to the floor in soft folds. The dress, with its high neckline, long sleeves, and intricate lace detailing, was a popular choice for brides during the early 1910s. Clara's expression is one of joy and contentment, her eyes sparkling with happiness. The photograph was taken during a time when the United States was undergoing significant social and cultural changes, and the fashion of the era reflected this transformation. Women's clothing became more feminine and ornate, with an emphasis on comfort and practicality. The use of glass negatives allowed for clear, sharp images, capturing every detail of Clara's wedding attire and the delicate textures of her veil and bouquet. Clara's portrait is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of a single image to transport us back in time. The Library of Congress, which houses this remarkable photograph, preserves it as an important piece of American heritage art, a window into the fashion, culture, and history of the early 20th century.
