EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the stoic gaze of A.S. Menin on November 18, 1918. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe during the final months of World War I, the image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American people during this pivotal period in history. Menin, dressed in his military uniform, embodies the determination and resilience of the nation as it emerged victorious from the global conflict. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this moment using a glass negative process, which lends the image a timeless quality. The monochromatic palette further emphasizes the gravity of the moment, as well as the fashion of the era. The high collar and simple lines of Menin's uniform reflect the practicality and functionality demanded by the military during wartime. This photograph is a valuable addition to the extensive collection housed at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insight into the experiences of those who lived through the tumultuous 1910s. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography to preserve history and evoke emotion.
