EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Unidentified Person on a Horse," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between the years 1911 and 1942. The image transports us back in time to the 1910s, 1920s, or 1930s in the United States. The young man, dressed in fashionable apparel of the era, sits confidently atop a horse, his posture exuding an air of ease and grace. His attire includes a long-sleeved shirt, a belted waistcoat, and trousers, all in muted tones. He wears a high-collared hat, a common accessory during this period, and a pair of high-boots with a distinctive plaited design, known as carriage boots. A riding crop rests in his hand, suggesting an affinity for equestrian pursuits. The horse, with its mane flowing in the wind, appears calm and obedient, its eyes fixed on the young man. The photograph, taken in a rural location, showcases the connection between man and nature, a theme that was popular during this era. The image is a testament to the heritage and art of the 20th century, captured in the form of a nitrate negative. The young man's thoughtful profile, the horse's proud stance, and the overall composition of the photograph make it a striking portrait that continues to captivate viewers even today. This image, a treasure from the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the rich history and fashion trends of the past.
