EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926, offers a glimpse into the daily life of three African American women in either New Orleans, Louisiana, or Charleston, South Carolina. The image, held in the Library of Congress, shows the women engaged in conversation on the steps of a grand, ornate building, their bodies casually arranged as they share stories and laughter. The architecture of the building, with its intricate shuttered windows and decorative door, serves as an elegant backdrop to the scene. The women's clothing, ranging from simple dresses to more elaborate garments, hints at the varying social and economic backgrounds of the individuals. The image captures the essence of the Southern United States during the 1920s, a time of change and progress, and invites us to reflect on the rich heritage and history of this period. Taken from a distance, the photograph also offers a unique perspective, allowing us to observe the women from across the street, as if we are unobtrusive observers of their daily lives.
