EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, titled "Mrs. Robbins" and dated November 2, 1917, was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image showcases a woman, identified as Mrs. J.W. Robbins, who exudes an air of quiet intensity and suspicion. She is dressed in a dark, high-necked dress with a fur coat draped over her shoulders, adding an element of elegance and warmth to her attire. Her hair is styled in an intricate updo, with loose strands framing her face and accentuating her striking features. The photograph was taken using a glass negative process, resulting in a crisp, detailed image that showcases the rich textures of the woman's clothing and the subtle tonal variations of the black and white palette. Mrs. Robbins gazes directly into the camera lens, her expression revealing a hint of distrust or suspicion. The image captures a moment in time, frozen in history, and offers a glimpse into the fashion and societal norms of the early 20th century. This portrait is a testament to Genthe's mastery of the medium, and a reminder of the power of a single image to evoke emotion and transport us to another time and place. The Library of Congress, a leading cultural institution, has preserved this valuable piece of heritage art for future generations to appreciate and study.
