EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the haunting gaze of L. West, a young woman from America's past. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe in 1913, this image is a poignant reminder of the 1910s era. The direct and fearful stare of L. West, with her hair styled in an intricate updo, conveys a sense of alarm and unease that transcends time. Her expression, frozen in this still image, leaves the viewer feeling both frightened and intrigued. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in glass negative photography, expertly captured the nuances of human emotion in his work. This portrait of L. West, taken at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., is a testament to his skill and artistic vision. The contrast between the white collar and the dark background adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating piece of heritage art. Despite the passage of time, L. West's portrait continues to evoke a sense of unease and curiosity. Her frightened expression, combined with the vintage aesthetic, speaks to the universal human emotions of fear and uncertainty. This haunting image serves as a reminder of the past, inviting us to reflect on the experiences and emotions of a bygone era.
