EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic allure of Alice Kauser, a Hungarian-born literary agent who made her mark in the United States during the 1910s. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, this black and white image showcases Alice's sophisticated and elegant style. She wears a high-necked, long-sleeved dress with intricate beadwork and a delicate lace overlay, accessorized with large, dangling earrings. Her dark hair is styled in soft waves, cascading over her shoulders. Alice's expressive face is turned slightly away from the camera, her hand resting on her shoulder in a thoughtful pose. The background is blurred, drawing the viewer's focus to her striking features and the subtle details of her attire. As a literary agent, Alice would have spent her days negotiating deals, representing authors, and navigating the complex world of publishing. This portrait offers a glimpse into her professional life and the refined air of confidence that came with her role as a trailblazing woman in the male-dominated industry. The image is part of Arnold Genthe's extensive collection of glass negatives, which are now housed in the Library of Congress. Genthe's keen eye for capturing the essence of his subjects has made him a beloved figure in the history of American photography. This portrait of Alice Kauser is a testament to his skill and the enduring allure of vintage portraits.
