EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Miss Schaffer, (Mrs. Baumgarten)," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on February 25, 1919. The image showcases a young woman, Miss Schaffer, who would later become Mrs. Baumgarten, adorned in a beautiful bridal gown and veil. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a decade marked by significant social and cultural changes in America. The image captures the essence of the era's fashion trends, with the woman wearing a voluminous white wedding dress, complete with a delicate floral garland and a bouquet of roses in her hand. The use of a glass negative technique adds to the timeless quality of the photograph, creating a sense of nostalgia and heritage. The setting of the portrait is simple yet elegant, with the woman standing against a plain background, allowing the intricacies of her bridal attire to take center stage. The use of natural light further enhances the image, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the textures of the fabric and the petals of the roses. The photograph is a beautiful representation of the transition from singleness to marriage, and the tradition of adorning oneself in white and flowers for the occasion. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the bridal look and the beauty of nature, as embodied in the roses and the woman's bouquet. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of Arnold Genthe's work held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The collection is a valuable heritage art resource, showcasing the rich cultural history of America during the 20th century. This portrait, in particular, offers a glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the time, making it a must-see for anyone interested in American history and culture.
