EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Riesenfeld, Mr." and created by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, showcases the distinguished and sophisticated appearance of an unidentified man, believed to be of Austrian descent, dressed in formal attire of the era. The man's direct gaze and intense expression exude an air of confidence and importance. He wears a well-tailored suit, complete with a bow tie and a stylish moustache, which were popular accessories during the 1910s in America. The man's coat, with its elegant lapels and single button closure, adds to his refined appearance. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in cinematography and photography, captured this image using glass negatives, a technique that was common during the early 20th century. The image, now held in the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich heritage of arts and culture during this period in American history. The man's formal dress and serious demeanor suggest that he may have been a composer, a congressman, or someone of similar stature in the film industry. Regardless of his occupation, this portrait provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the 1910s, a time when the movie industry was just beginning to take shape in the United States. The image, with its timeless quality and intriguing subject, continues to captivate viewers and inspire admiration over a century later.
