EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. E.R. Tinker, captured in this striking portrait photograph taken by Arnold Genthe on December 8, 1917, presents a captivating image of American fashion during the 1910s. The black and white image, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Tinker's elegant attire, featuring intricate beadwork and embroidery adorning her dress. The dress, with its unique combination of white and black, is reminiscent of the contrasting color palette popular during this era. Arnold Genthe, a renowned photographer of the 20th century, expertly captured the essence of Mrs. Tinker's personality through this glass negative. Her confident and poised demeanor is evident in her piercing gaze and the subtle smile playing at the corners of her lips. The portrait also offers a glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage, as beadwork and needlework were highly valued forms of art and craftsmanship during this period. The location and context of the photograph remain a mystery, leaving room for the viewer's imagination to fill in the blanks. One can only wonder about the occasion that brought Mrs. Tinker to don this beautiful dress and pose for this photograph. Regardless, the image stands as a testament to the enduring allure of American fashion and the artistry of Arnold Genthe.
