EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on May 24, 1917, captures the intellectual and scholarly presence of Professor Friedrich Hirth. The professor, dressed in formal attire, gazes directly at the camera with a serious yet thoughtful expression. Hirth, a sinologist and linguistics expert, is seen wearing a white collared shirt with a black tie and a polka-dot bow tie, adding an elegant touch to his attire. The professor's accessories, including his glasses and the lapel pin on his jacket, further emphasize his academic status. At the time of this portrait session, Hirth was likely in his later years, reflecting the wisdom and experience that comes with age. The image is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s, with the professor's clothing representing the formal dress code of the era. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich heritage of academic and intellectual history. This still image of Professor Friedrich Hirth serves as a reminder of the importance of education, knowledge, and the pursuit of understanding different cultures and languages, which continue to be relevant in today's world.
