EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1919, renowned filmmaker D.W. Griffith is seen in the company of the Gish sisters, Dorothy and Lilian. Griffith, born David Wark Griffith in 1875, was a pioneering figure in the American film industry, known for his groundbreaking work as a director and producer. The sisters, who began their acting careers in the silent film era, were among the most popular stars of the time. Griffith's innovative approach to filmmaking and his ability to tell compelling stories through the medium of cinema had made him a household name. Here, he is casually dressed, with a pipe in hand, as he engages in a lighthearted moment with the sisters. Dorothy, on the left, is holding a mandolin, while Lilian, on the right, smokes a cigarette with an air of confidence. The photograph, taken by noted caricaturist Kate Carew, captures the relaxed and playful atmosphere of the set. The use of caricature adds a whimsical touch to the image, making it a delightful representation of the era and the personalities involved. The sisters' radiant smiles and Griffith's jovial expression further emphasize the camaraderie and creativity that defined the early days of Hollywood. This photograph is a testament to the dynamic relationship between the film industry's leading figures and the artists who captured their essence on film. It offers a glimpse into the lives of these pioneering figures and the collaborative spirit that fueled the growth of American cinema.
