EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. Quinton, W.W." and dated October 26, 1914, was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a confident and poised woman, Mrs. Quinton, who gazes directly at the camera with an air of patience and composure. Dressed in elegant apparel of the early 1910s, she wears a high-necked blouse with long sleeves, adorned with intricate lace detailing, and a full, voluminous skirt. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, with delicate curls framing her face and a pearl necklace adding a touch of sophistication and elegance to her attire. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this timeless image using a glass negative process, which resulted in exceptional clarity and detail. The photograph is a testament to the fashion trends and cultural aesthetics of the early 20th century, as well as the artistry and skill of Genthe himself. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of heritage art in its vast collection, making it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of photography and fashion. The direct gaze of Mrs. Quinton, combined with her elegant attire and timeless beauty, makes this portrait a captivating and enduring work of art. The intricate details of her clothing, the delicate curves of her hairdo, and the subtle shimmer of her pearl necklace all contribute to the image's enduring appeal and make it a fascinating glimpse into the past.
