Maitland, Miss, and Miss Knight, 1915 July 9
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. This image, taken during the 1910s, showcases two young women, Maitland and Miss Knight, engaged in an intriguing dance performance. The women are dressed in traditional Arabian-inspired costumes, with long, flowing dresses and elaborate headpieces. Maitland wears a white dress with a voluminous skirt and a headwrap adorned with intricate patterns, while Miss Knight dons a black dress with a similar design and a headdress featuring a veil. The women are captured in a full-length, profile view, with Maitland standing on one leg and Miss Knight reaching out to entwine her arm. Their postures exude a sense of grace and elegance, as they engage in a timeless dance that seems to transport the viewer to another era. The photograph was taken during a performance at an unknown location, and the women's expressive faces and fluid movements suggest that they were deeply immersed in the art of dance. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the early 20th century and the enduring allure of the performing arts. This photograph is a glass negative from the vast collection of Arnold Genthe's work held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. It is a rare and valuable document of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of fashion, dance, and performance during the 1910s. The image's high-quality resolution and intricate detail make it a must-have for any collection of American history, art, or photography.
