EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Constance Williams, captured in a poignant moment of apprehension in this striking black and white portrait photograph by Arnold Genthe, dated December 6, 1917. The 1910s were a time of great change in America, and the fashion of the era is beautifully represented in this image. Miss Williams wears a simple yet elegant white dress with a high collar and long sleeves, accessorized with a black cap and a delicate headdress. Her expression, however, betrays a sense of worry or concern, adding depth and intrigue to the image. Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) was a renowned American photographer, known for his unique ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait is part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, a testament to his significant contribution to the history of photography. The glass negative used to create this image showcases the rich detail and tonal range that were hallmarks of Genthe's work. The location of the photograph is not known, but the timeless quality of the image transcends its specific setting. Miss Williams' worried expression and the contrast between the white dress and black accessories serve as a reminder of the complexities and uncertainties of life in the early 20th century. This portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or fashion, and a testament to the enduring power of a single image to evoke emotion and provoke thought.
