EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the essence of a young woman named Moulton from Moulton, Mississippi, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on April 27, 1916. The image showcases the woman's modest yet stylish attire typical of the early 1910s in the United States. Her high-collared blouse, with its intricate lace detailing, is paired with a long, flowing skirt, both in shades of white and black. The woman's hair is neatly styled in a classic bob, framing her face and accentuating her expressive features. The photograph was taken during the 20th century, a time of significant change in American fashion, as women began to embrace new styles and trends. This image, however, reflects the enduring appeal of traditional clothing and the modesty that was still valued in many communities. The portrait was captured using glass negatives, a technique that was popular during this era for its ability to produce high-quality, detailed images. The result is a timeless piece of heritage art that transports us back to a bygone era and offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of a young woman from rural America during the 1910s. This image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that document the rich history of the United States. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past and the stories that lie within it.
