Emmy and Selma, Lake George, 1899 - A Glimpse into the Joyful Bond of Sisterhood
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Alfred Stieglitz transports us to a serene summer day at Lake George in 1899. The image showcases Emmy Stieglitz and her sister Selma Schubart as they frolic in the crystal-clear waters, their laughter echoing through the air. In this intimate portrait, Stieglitz captures not only the beauty of nature but also the deep connection between these two women. Emmy's radiant smile reflects pure delight while Selma's mischievous splashing adds an element of playful spontaneity to the scene. As a renowned American photographer of the early 20th century, Stieglitz masterfully uses his lens to freeze this moment in time forever. The simplicity of black and white enhances our focus on their expressions and gestures, allowing us to feel like we are right there with them. The handwritten text on the lantern slide further immerses us in history as it bears witness to Emmeline Obermeyer (later known as Emmeline Obermeyer Stieglitz) being both artist and model for her husband's work. This glimpse into their artistic collaboration reveals a profound trust between spouses who shared not only love but also a passion for art. Emmy and Selma embody freedom, joy, and sisterly love against the backdrop of Lake George's tranquil beauty. Through this timeless photograph
