EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, titled "Members of the International Institute for Immigrant Girls, Y.W.C.A. in national costumes," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on March 13, 1915. The image showcases a group of young girls, dressed in their traditional national costumes, standing proudly in a studio setting. The girls, members of the Young Women's Christian Association (Y.W.C.A.) International Institute, each represent a different country and have adorned themselves with various elements of their native attire. Some girls wear intricate braids and flowers in their hair, while others hold flowers or wear jewelry such as pearl necklaces. One girl holds her arms crossed in front of her, while others maintain a graceful posture, showcasing their unique and vibrant costumes. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the girls, who have come to the United States as immigrants. The use of props such as weapons and plants adds an additional layer of symbolism to the image, possibly representing their connection to their homeland and the natural world. This timeless portrait, captured in the 1910s, is a testament to the diversity and resilience of the human spirit and the importance of preserving cultural traditions.
