EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a young boy, likely around 7 or 8 years old, sitting in the doorway of a two-story building located at 17 Chalmers Street in Charleston, South Carolina. The scene is believed to have been captured between the years 1920 and 1926 by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe. The building, with its intricate architectural details and weathered facade, serves as a backdrop to the boy's casual pose, adding a sense of timelessness to the image. The boy's expression is one of quiet contemplation, as if he is lost in thought or simply enjoying the moment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of children in the early 20th century, particularly in the Southern United States, and the unique character of Charleston's cityscape. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of Genthe's work in documenting American history and culture.
