EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on June 12, 1919, features the elegant and poised figure of Mrs. Hart O. Berg, whose given name is believed to be Lena Davis Willits McKinney. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Berg in an elegant dress, the details of which are crisply defined against the plain background. The high collar and long sleeves of the dress, popular during the 1910s, are reminiscent of the Edwardian era, while the fitted waist and full skirt suggest the influence of the flapper style that was emerging at the time. Mrs. Berg's profile, with her expressive features and piercing gaze, exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. The glass negative, a testament to Genthe's mastery of the medium, captures the intricacies of the fabric and the subtle tonalities of the subject's skin, resulting in a timeless and captivating image. The portrait offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of early 20th century America, as well as the artistry of one of its most celebrated photographers.
