EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on September 12, 1918, introduces us to Robin MacKaye, a young man of the United States during the 1910s. The image, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, was taken as a glass negative. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in American photography, is known for his innovative and artistic approach to portraiture. In this image, he masterfully employs the medium of black and white to highlight the unique character and personality of his subject. The young man, Robin MacKaye, gazes directly into the camera with a confident and introspective expression. His profile, framed by the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image, adds an intriguing depth to the portrait. The background of the photograph is simple, allowing the focus to remain solely on MacKaye. His attire, typical of the early 20th century, further emphasizes the historical context of the image. The photograph is a testament to the power of portrait photography in capturing the essence of an individual and preserving it for future generations. The Library of Congress, as the steward of the Genthe Collection, continues to make these valuable historical records accessible to the public, allowing us to explore and learn from the rich heritage of American history.
