EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Spirescu, Steraskon, Mr. with dog," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on March 1, 1917. The image showcases a distinguished gentleman, identified as Steraskon Spirescu, seated in a formal setting. He is dressed in an elegant suit and coat, complete with a crisp white shirt, tie, and vest. The man's posture is confident, as he leans on his elbow, looking away from the camera with a thoughtful expression. What sets this portrait apart is the presence of his loyal companion, a dog, resting at his feet. The dog's eyes are fixed on the man, conveying a deep bond and connection between them. The photograph was taken during the early 1910s, a time when the use of glass negatives was popular in portrait photography. The location of the photograph is not clear, but it is believed to have been taken in the United States, possibly in the Czech or Czechoslovakian community, given the subject's ethnicity. The image is a beautiful example of the fashion and accessories of the time, with the man's clothing and the dog's collar adding to the overall charm of the photograph. This full-length portrait, with its timeless composition and intriguing subject matter, is a testament to the rich heritage of portrait photography in the 20th century. It is a still image that continues to captivate viewers with its unique blend of formality and warmth, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage photography.
