EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mannes, David, Mrs.," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on April 28, 1916. The image features Clara Damrosch Mannes, an accomplished educator and musician, who is dressed in elegant clothing of the early 20th century. The setting of the portrait is simple, with Clara seated in a profile view against a plain background, allowing the focus to be on her striking features and refined attire. Clara Damrosch Mannes was born in Germany but moved to the United States as a young woman and became a prominent figure in American society. She was a dedicated teacher and music educator, and her husband, David Mannes, was also a musician. The couple's influence on the arts and education in the United States during the 1910s was significant. The photograph showcases the fashion trends of the time, with Clara wearing a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt that was popular among women during this era. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, which was also a common hairstyle for women during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the time and provides a glimpse into the lives of the country's influential figures. The photograph was taken as a profile view, which was a popular choice for formal portraits during this period. The black and white image, which is believed to be a glass negative, has been preserved in the Library of Congress and is a valuable addition to the heritage of American art and photography.
