EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Flagg, Montgomery, Mr." and created by renowned artist Arnold Genthe on September 28, 1915, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the early 20th century. The subject, identified as James Montgomery Flagg, is dressed in formal attire, donning a dark suit, white shirt, and black tie. He wears a waistcoat and a coat with lapels, accessorized with a watch chain and a hat placed on a table beside him. The man's hair is slicked back, and he looks away from the camera with an uncertain expression, adding an air of mystery to the image. The photograph, which is part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, was captured using glass negatives, a common technique during the era. The monochromatic palette of the image highlights the intricacies of the clothing, from the textures of the fabric to the details of the buttons and stitching. The portrait exemplifies the formal dress code of the time, providing a window into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the United States during the 1910s. Arnold Genthe, a prolific illustrator and photographer, is known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection of American heritage art or fashion history.
