EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Schimmelfeng, C. Mr.," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on December 3, 1914. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman, identified as Mr. Schimmelfeng, who exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. Dressed in a formal suit, complete with a crisp white shirt, dark tie, and a matching vest, Mr. Schimmelfeng's attire is a testament to the fashion trends of the early 1910s. His accessories, including a stylish hat and a well-groomed mustache, further enhance his refined appearance. Despite looking away from the camera, Mr. Schimmelfeng's expression conveys a sense of quiet confidence and composure. The photograph was taken during a time when the United States was undergoing significant changes, both politically and socially. This portrait serves as a valuable historical record of the era, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social norms of the early 20th century. Arnold Genthe, a German-born photographer, was known for his innovative use of glass negatives to create high-quality images. His work, which spanned various genres including portraiture, landscapes, and street photography, is an essential part of the heritage art movement. This particular portrait, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to Genthe's skill and artistry, and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
