EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait photograph, titled 'Miss Donner' and dated March 6, 1919, was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image is a beautiful example of the fashion trends of the 1910s in the United States. Miss Donner is depicted in a full-length, elegant dress that is both simple and sophisticated. The dress, which is white with black accents, features a high waistline, a fitted bodice, and a flowing skirt that billows out gracefully. The woman wears an ostrich feather fan in her hand, adding a touch of glamour and elegance to the outfit. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, resulting in the classic black and white aesthetic that is characteristic of Genthe's work. The image is also notable for its handheld, candid feel, which adds to the sense of intimacy and authenticity. The location of the portrait is not known, but the image exudes a sense of old-world charm and elegance that is reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties. Miss Donner's confident and poised demeanor, combined with her stylish attire, make this a truly captivating portrait that transports us back in time to a bygone era. Arnold Genthe (1869-1942) was a pioneering American photographer who is best known for his documentation of San Francisco's Chinatown and Japanese community, as well as his portraits of prominent figures from the arts, politics, and society of the early 20th century. This portrait of Miss Donner is a testament to his skill as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
