EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Sharp, Cecil, Mr." was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 8, 1916. The image features a distinguished gentleman named Cecil Sharp, who is dressed in formal attire typical of the Edwardian era. Sharp wears a dark suit with a crisp white shirt, a bow tie, and a coat draped over his arms. His nose rests on the rim of his glasses as he gazes intently at the camera, exuding an air of authority and intelligence. Cecil Sharp was an influential figure in his time, serving various professions including that of a congressional editor and author. He is best known for his contributions to the field of folk music, particularly in collecting and documenting traditional English folk songs. The photograph captures the essence of the era, with its monochrome palette and intricate details of Sharp's clothing and accessories. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of American arts and culture during the 1910s. It was taken using glass negatives, a technique that was popular during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress in the United States is the current repository of this valuable piece of history, making it accessible to researchers, scholars, and enthusiasts of photography and American history.
