EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the enchanting presence of Minne Greenwood, an African American woman from the United States, in a photograph taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1913. The image, held in the Library of Congress, showcases Minne in her prime, exuding confidence and charm as she gazes directly at the camera with a gentle smile. The backdrop of the photograph is a simple yet striking setting, with a lush bouquet of white lilies arranged behind her, their petals cascading down the glass negatives that served as the foundation for this black and white image. Minne's traditional headgear, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adds an element of cultural heritage to the photograph, further emphasizing the rich tapestry of American history. The contrast between the natural beauty of the flowers and the elegant, timeless fashion of Minne's headdress creates a captivating juxtaposition. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, is a testament to the power of photography to preserve moments in time, allowing us to connect with people and histories long past. Minne's direct gaze and the vibrant colors of the lilies invite us to reflect on the experiences and stories of a young woman from a bygone era, bridging the gap between the present and the past.
