EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Kelly, Martha, Miss," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in the year 1916. The image showcases a young woman named Martha Kelly, who is deeply engrossed in thought, her expression conveying a sense of deep concentration. Martha is dressed in a loose-fitting bathrobe, which was a popular fashion trend during the early 1910s. The bathrobe, which is open at the front, reveals a simple, high-necked blouse and a modest, long-sleeved dress underneath. Martha's hair is styled in an intricate, elaborate do, which was also a common fashion choice during this era. Her hair is pulled back and secured with pins, creating a sophisticated and elegant look. The photograph was taken in a quiet, dimly lit room, with a large window in the background, allowing natural light to filter in, adding depth and texture to the image. This portrait photograph is a beautiful example of the artistic and cultural heritage of the United States during the 20th century. The image is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, which holds an extensive archive of historical photographs, including many works by Arnold Genthe. The photograph was taken using glass negatives, a technique that was widely used during this period for producing high-quality, detailed images. The photograph's timeless beauty and the intriguing story of Martha Kelly make it a valuable addition to any collection of classic portraits or historical images. It is a reminder of the rich history and diversity of American culture and fashion during the 1910s.
