EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Marion Morgan Dancers,' was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1914 and 1927. The image showcases three young women, Marion Morgan and two unidentified dancers, engaging in an outdoor dance performance. Dressed in flowing costumes and holding hands, they exude a sense of unity and grace as they gesticulate and wave their arms in the air. The trio is set against the backdrop of a lush, green outdoor setting, with the sun casting long, dramatic shadows. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, was known for his innovative use of nitrate negatives, which allowed for exceptional detail and tonal range in his images. This photograph, with its timeless quality and evocative composition, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. The dancers' expressive movements and the interplay of light and shadow create a captivating tableau that continues to captivate viewers to this day. The Library of Congress holds the original nitrate negative of this photograph, making it an invaluable addition to the institution's extensive collection of American history and art. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into a bygone era and the enduring legacy of Marion Morgan and her fellow dancers.
