EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Mrs. Dykeman in 1925. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on July 9 of that year, this image is a testament to the enduring allure of the past. Mrs. Dykeman's profile is framed by an intricately braided hairstyle, the plaits cascading down her back in a wave of dark waves. Her hairdo, a popular choice among women during the 1920s, adds an air of sophistication and elegance to her appearance. The photograph was taken against a plain background, allowing the subject's features to take center stage. Mrs. Dykeman's expression is serene and contemplative, her eyes gazing off into the distance as if lost in thought. Her clothing, simple yet stylish, reflects the fashion trends of the era. The image is a snapshot of a bygone era, a moment frozen in time. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this portrait using a nitrate negative, a technique that was popular during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. now houses this precious piece of heritage art, a reminder of the rich cultural history of the United States. This portrait of Mrs. Dykeman is a testament to the power of a single image to transport us to another time and place, inviting us to ponder the stories and experiences that lie behind it.
