EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Forbes, M.E. Miss," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on March 11, 1915. The young woman, identified as Miss Forbes, is depicted in elegant attire, wearing a fur-trimmed coat with a high collar and cuffs, and a dress adorned with intricate patterns. The image captures the essence of early 20th century American fashion, with the subject's hand gracefully resting on her heart, conveying a sense of poise and confidence. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in glass negative photography, expertly utilized the medium to create a timeless image that showcases the beauty and sophistication of the era. The photograph is a testament to the heritage of American art and fashion, and a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Library of Congress. The location and context of the photograph are not explicitly stated, but the formal attire and posture of the subject suggest that this may have been an official or formal portrait. The monochromatic color palette, characteristic of the era, adds to the image's vintage appeal and makes it a captivating piece of history. Miss Forbes's outfit, with its fur trim and intricate patterns, reflects the fashion trends of the 1910s, showcasing the evolution of women's wear during this period. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history of American fashion and the enduring allure of vintage style.
