EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Powell, David, Mr." and created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on September 21, 1916, showcases the enigmatic allure of a man lost in thought. The subject, identified as David Powell, dons a formal attire that embodies the fashion trends of the 1910s in America. His slicked-back hair, combined with a well-groomed mustache, adds to the polished appearance of the image. The monochrome palette of the photograph, with its white and black contrasts, enhances the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The man's coat, jacket, and tie are all meticulously tailored, adding to the overall impression of elegance and refinement. Despite the formal setting, Powell's demeanor is anything but conventional. His gaze is fixed on an unseen point in the distance, a hint of preoccupation etched upon his features. The glass negatives used by Genthe lend an ethereal quality to the image, capturing the essence of a man lost in thought, oblivious to his surroundings. This portrait, now held in the prestigious Library of Congress, stands as a testament to the power of photography to preserve the past and transport us to different times and places. The image invites us to ponder the thoughts and dreams that may have occupied David Powell's mind on that September day in 1916.
