EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of Mrs. John Hussey in the summer of 1915. Taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on June 24, this glass negative image showcases Mrs. Hussey's timeless beauty and impeccable fashion sense. Her high-collared, long-sleeved dress with a unique V-neckline and intricate beading detail is a testament to the fashion trends of the 1910s. The delicate lace collar and cuffs add an air of refinement, while her carefully coiffed hairdo and subtle makeup enhance her natural beauty. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, expertly captures the profile of Mrs. Hussey, highlighting her distinctive features and the intricacies of her clothing. The contrast between the white lace and the dark background adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. This portrait is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress, showcasing the rich heritage of American fashion and photography from the early 20th century. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of the past, while also reminding us of the enduring power of a well-crafted portrait.
