EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver photo taken in 1916, we are introduced to Adele Kennedy, the sole guide to Greenwich Village in New York City. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, capturing Kennedy standing confidently in the doorway of The Treasure Box at 7 Sheridan Square. Clutching a sheet of paper, she exudes an air of authority and knowledge about the vibrant neighborhood. Accompanying her are three men and one woman, including Romayne Benjamin, the proprietor of the shop. Their presence adds depth and context to the photograph, hinting at their involvement within Greenwich Village's social fabric. The black-and-white composition evokes a sense of nostalgia while highlighting intricate details such as architectural elements and clothing styles from that era. This print is now part of the esteemed collection held by the New-York Historical Society. Adele Kennedy's significance lies not only in being captured as a historical figure but also as someone who played an essential role in guiding visitors through Greenwich Village during its formative years. Her expertise would have been invaluable for those seeking to explore this bohemian enclave bursting with creativity and cultural diversity. This photograph serves as a visual testament to both Adele Kennedy's pioneering spirit and Jessie Tarbox Beals' talent behind the lens—a remarkable documentation of early 20th-century New York City life that continues to captivate viewers today.
