Maidstone Club, 1932
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Arnold Genthe, capturing a serene moment at the picturesque Maidstone Club located on the coast of East Hampton, Long Island, United States. The image transports us back to the 1930s, an era of elegance and refinement, as evidenced by the chic attire and accessories of the people in the scene. The photograph showcases a diverse group of individuals, some engaged in leisurely activities such as golfing on the lush green course, while others lounge by the swimming pool, dressed in fashionable swimsuits and parasols. A few ladies can be seen strolling along the sandy beach, their parasols providing shade from the sun. The gentle waves of the sea lap against the shore, adding to the tranquil ambiance of the scene. Arnold Genthe's expert use of light and shadow creates a stunning contrast in this nitrate negative image. The crisp white parasols and clothing stand out against the darker tones of the sand, water, and foliage. The Maidstone Club, with its stately buildings and manicured grounds, serves as an elegant backdrop to the scene. This photograph offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of American tourism and leisure culture during the 20th century. The Maidstone Club, established in 1891, has long been a popular destination for the wealthy and influential, and this image captures the essence of its timeless appeal. The photograph is now part of the prestigious collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance and artistic merit.
