EDITORS COMMENTS
Chita Arguello's captivating portrait, captured by Harris & Ewing in 1933, offers a glimpse into the past of American entertainment during the 1930s. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Arguello's striking features and confident demeanor. Dressed in an elegant, high-necked blouse and accessorized with a string of pearls, Arguello gazes directly at the camera with a hint of a smile. Born in Cuba, Arguello came to the United States in the late 1920s and quickly made a name for herself as a dancer and performer. Her talent and charisma earned her a place in the Ziegfeld Follies, a renowned American variety show. This portrait, taken during her rise to fame, encapsulates the glamour and allure of the era. Harris & Ewing, a prominent photographic studio based in Washington D.C., was known for its high-quality glass negatives and studio portraits. The company, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze (later married to Martha Ewing Newcombe), documented the people and events of the time, leaving a rich visual record of American history. This portrait of Chita Arguello is a testament to the studio's skill and the subject's captivating presence. It invites us to reflect on the past and the people who shaped it, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of American culture.
