EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Scenes from Aedipus' by Arnold Genthe, captures a moment from Augustin Duncan's play between 1915 and 1921. The image portrays three actresses, each deep in thought and anticipation, as they prepare to take the stage for a performance of the classic Greek tragedy 'Oedipus Rex.' The actresses, dressed in period costumes, stand on the steps of a grand, ornate stage set, their expressions conveying a sense of protection and seriousness. The children in the audience, also dressed in vintage apparel, gaze up at the performers with rapt attention. The black and white, glass negative image, taken during the 1910s in the United States, offers a glimpse into the world of early 20th century American theatre and the enduring appeal of classic drama. The photograph, a precious heritage art piece, is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to the power of the performing arts to transport us through time.
