EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1933 and 1942, depicts a delightful garden scene featuring Mrs. Mary Benson (second from right) and two identified women seated at a table outdoors. The setting is idyllic, with lush greenery and vibrant flowers surrounding them, creating a serene atmosphere. The women appear to be enjoying a leisurely lunch or luncheon, their relaxed expressions and postures conveying a sense of contentment and camaraderie. The image is a testament to the charm and elegance of a bygone era, reminiscent of the 1930s garden parties and luncheons that were popular during that time in the United States. The photograph is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection housed in the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical images that offer a glimpse into the country's rich heritage. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this moment on nitrate negative film, adding to the depth and texture of the image. The women, dressed in white and black, add a timeless quality to the photograph, making it a beautiful addition to any collection or display. This photograph is not only a visual delight but also a reminder of the simple pleasures of life, such as good company, a beautiful setting, and a delicious meal.
