EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. W.S. Godfrey, captured in this elegant portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on August 6, 1918, presents a striking image of fashion and sophistication from the Roaring Twenties in the United States. The black and white image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, showcases Mrs. Godfrey's timeless beauty and impeccable sense of style. Dressed in a long-sleeved, high-necked white dress, Mrs. Godfrey exudes an air of refinement and grace. Her pearl necklace, adorned with large, lustrous pearls, adds an element of opulence to her outfit, making it a popular choice for formal occasions during the 1910s. The intricate detailing on the neckline of her dress and the delicate pearl earrings she wears further accentuate her elegant features. The location of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but the image conveys a sense of grandeur and importance, likely taken at a formal event or in a grand residence. The glass negative process used by Genthe results in a high-quality, crisp image that showcases the intricacies of Mrs. Godfrey's clothing and accessories. Arnold Genthe, a prolific and influential photographer of the 20th century, is known for his portraits of prominent American figures, as well as his documentation of the changing social landscape of the United States during this period. This portrait of Mrs. W.S. Godfrey is a testament to his skill and artistry, offering a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 1910s.
