EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Davis, Sheldon, Mrs." and dated June 11, 1917, was captured by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a confident and intelligent woman, Mrs. Sheldon, who gazes directly at the camera with a piercing stare. She is dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, wearing a collared blouse with a high neckline and a fur stole draped over her shoulders. The woman's dress, with its intricate pattern and elegant cut, adds to her refined and sophisticated appearance. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, which were popular during the early 20th century. The monochromatic palette of the photograph, with its striking contrasts of white and black, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The Library of Congress holds this precious piece of heritage art in its vast collection, a testament to the enduring value of Genthe's work. This portrait not only captures the essence of the woman's personality but also provides a glimpse into the fashion trends and social norms of the 1910s. With her direct gaze and stylish attire, Mrs. Sheldon continues to captivate viewers, making this portrait a true classic in the annals of photography history.
