This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "De Kerlar, Dr.", was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on June 5, 1917. The image is part of Genthe's extensive collection, held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The subject of the photograph, Dr. De Kerlar, gazes directly at the camera with a confident and serious expression. He wears a formal suit and a doctorate gown, signifying his academic achievements. The glass negative captures every detail of his attire, from the crisp creases in his trousers to the intricate design of his doctoral cap. The background of the image is simple, with a plain white wall serving as the backdrop. The monochromatic palette of the photograph adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to the 1910s in America. The portrait of Dr. De Kerlar is a testament to the fashion and style of the era, with the doctor's formal attire reflecting the professionalism and seriousness of the time. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of documentation and preservation of historical photographs, allowing us to connect with the past and gain insights into the lives of people who lived before us. Arnold Genthe was a pioneering figure in American photography, known for his innovative techniques and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Dr. De Kerlar is just one example of his remarkable body of work, which continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
