EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image from the Movie set for a Western, captured between 1896 and 1942 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. This photograph transports us back in time to the 19th and early 20th centuries when the Wild West was a popular subject in American cinema. The scene unfolds on a dusty, sun-scorched location, where a group of actors and crew members are busy preparing for the day's filming. The men, dressed in authentic Western apparel, are engrossed in their roles, with one man adjusting a corduroy coat, another rolling a cigarette, and a third deep in conversation. The collection of clothing on display is a testament to the fashion trends of the era, with coats, dresses, and jackets made of various materials such as cord, wool, and fabric. The men's clothing is characterized by high collars, wide-brimmed hats, and sturdy boots, while the women's dresses feature full skirts and high necklines. The film set itself is a sight to behold, with props, cameras, and equipment scattered around. The air is thick with anticipation and excitement as the crew readies themselves for another day of shooting. This behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of early American cinema is a fascinating window into the past, offering a unique insight into the people, clothing, and culture of the time. Arnold Genthe's photograph is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art Collection at the Library of Congress, providing a visual record of a bygone era in American history. This image is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of cinema, fashion, or the American West.
