EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1911 and 1942, presents a series of unidentified buildings that once stood as potential movie sets for the Famous Players Lasky Corporation. The image transports us back in time to the early days of the film industry in the United States. Located in an unspecified American town or village, these structures, some fairytale-like and others distinctly ramshackle, exude an air of mystery and intrigue. The buildings' diverse architectural styles, from tiled roofs to arched windows, speak to the rich heritage of the country's built environment. The photograph, which is believed to be a nitrate negative, offers a glimpse into the world of make-believe that was created for the silver screen during the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s. The image's monochromatic palette, reminiscent of the black and white cinematography of the era, adds to the timeless quality of the scene. The buildings, some with peeling paint and others adorned with intricate details, stand proudly against the sky, their stories untold. This still image, now part of the Library of Congress's collection, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of early film production and the neighborhoods that served as their backdrop.
