EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on October 17, 1912, captures the enigmatic figure of John Henry Patterson. Dressed in a formal suit and accessorized with a starched collar, handlebar mustache, and pince-nez glasses, Patterson exudes an air of authority and sophistication. His dark suit and crisp white shirt are adorned with a fashionable tie, adding to his impeccable appearance. Despite the formal attire, Patterson's gaze is directed away from the camera, creating an intriguing sense of introspection or perhaps a subtle air of mystery. The location of the photograph is not known, but the image conveys a sense of importance and status, fitting for an industrialist or businessman of the early 20th century. Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this image using glass negatives, which were the standard method for producing high-quality photographs during this era. The monochromatic palette of the photograph adds to its timeless appeal, transporting us back to a bygone era of American history. The Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress is home to this remarkable image, which serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and fashion trends of the United States during the 1910s. This portrait of John Henry Patterson is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of a person and a moment in time.
