EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Mrs. Parsons, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on July 3, 1915. The glass negative image, now held in the Library of Congress, showcases the young woman in profile, her expressive face etched with a hint of sadness that draws the viewer in. Her intricately styled hair, swept back and pinned high, is a testament to the era's fashion trends and the art of hairdressing during the 1910s. The contrast between the sharp lines of her hairdo and the soft folds of her dress add depth and texture to the image, while the monochromatic palette of the photograph heightens the sense of introspection and melancholy. The portrait of Mrs. Parsons, with its timeless beauty and poignant emotion, is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of 20th-century photography and the human stories it captures.
