EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures Gertrude Käsebier's enchanting presence in a profile view, taken by the renowned photographer Adolph de Meyer in 1905. Käsebier, an American photographer, was a pioneer in promoting photography as a viable career for women. Her groundbreaking work challenged societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female photographers. De Meyer, a Baron of German and French descent, was a leading figure in the early 20th century photography scene. Known for his innovative use of platinum prints, he captured the essence of his subjects with remarkable clarity and detail, as evidenced in this stunning black-and-white image of Käsebier. The portrait, taken during the 1900-1910 period, is a testament to the artistic and cultural milieu of the time. Käsebier's confident and intelligent gaze, coupled with her elegant attire, exudes an air of sophistication and determination. The image, now part of the Library of Congress's extensive collection, serves as a reminder of the significant role these pioneering photographers played in shaping the history of photography in the United States. De Meyer's masterful composition and use of light and shadow in this portrait of Käsebier showcase his exceptional skill and artistic vision. The image invites us to reflect on the lives and contributions of these trailblazing figures in the history of photography and women's empowerment.
