EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Ellen Terry, an iconic British actress of the early 20th century. Taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1915, the image finds Terry in deep concentration, her gaze fixed intently on an unseen point beyond the camera's lens. Dame Ellen Terry, as she was later known, was celebrated for her extraordinary acting abilities and captivating stage presence. In this photograph, she is shown dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, consisting of a high-collared jacket and a flowing dress, accessorized with a stylish hat and a coat draped over her arm. The intricate details of her hairstyle, with its elaborate updo and intricate braids, add to the overall sense of timeless elegance and sophistication. The portrait was taken during Terry's visit to the United States, where she had come to perform in a series of Shakespearean productions. This glass negative, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of both the actress and the photographer, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century entertainment and fashion.
