EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on November 20, 1916, showcases the elegant and affluent Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle. Dressed in a stunning beaded dress, Mrs. Biddle exudes an air of glamour and sophistication. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, adorned with a pearl necklace and beadwork, adding to her regal appearance. The photograph captures Mrs. Biddle looking away, with a thoughtful expression on her face, as if lost in deep thought. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, expertly captured the essence of the 1910s era with this image. The glass negative technique used in this photograph adds to its vintage charm, transporting us back in time to an era of wealth and opulence. The intricate beadwork on Mrs. Biddle's dress and jewelry, as well as the delicate embroidery on her clothing, are testament to the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the era. Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel Biddle, whose full name was Cordelia Rundell Bradley, was a woman of great heritage and class. This portrait photograph, now housed in the Library of Congress, is a precious reminder of the fashion and style of the early 20th century, and a testament to the artistry of Arnold Genthe.
