EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 27, 1916, showcases a young woman identified as Miss Moulton from Moulton, Mississippi. The image, part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the early 1900s in the United States. Miss Moulton's modest attire, consisting of a high-necked blouse and a long, full skirt, reflects the conservative dress codes of the time. Her hair, styled in an elaborate updo with intricate braids, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to her appearance. The woman looks down, her expression thoughtful and introspective, inviting the viewer to ponder her story. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in glass negative photography, captured this moment with exceptional clarity and detail. The monochromatic palette of the image, with its striking contrasts between light and shadow, adds to its timeless appeal. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the rich heritage of American photography but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women during the 1910s. The image, with its intriguing subject and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, fashion, or photography. The Library of Congress, as the steward of this national treasure, continues to preserve and share such invaluable pieces of our shared cultural heritage.
