EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Roberts, Rene, Miss, 1922 Nov. 18," was taken by the renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe during the 1920s. The image features a young Native American woman, identified as Rene Roberts, standing in a full-length portrait. She is dressed in traditional indigenous attire, adorned with a magnificent feather headdress, which adds an air of regality and heritage to her appearance. Rene's expressive face is turned upwards, her eyes closed, as if lost in thought or in the moment of a performance. Her arms are gracefully extended, creating a dynamic and captivating pose. The image was captured on a nitrate negative, which adds to the richness and depth of the photograph. The photograph is a testament to the diverse and vibrant cultural heritage of America during the 1920s. The image is reminiscent of a performance or a Congressional Library display, showcasing the rich history and traditions of Native American communities. The contrast between the darkness of the background and the white and black tones of Rene's attire and skin adds to the visual impact of the image. Arnold Genthe was a pioneering photographer, known for his documentation of American life and culture during the early 20th century. This photograph of Rene Roberts is a prime example of his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and preserve historical moments for future generations to appreciate.
