Mrs. Wilhelm Meyer, Portrait Photograph, 1919 Nov. 3: A Timeless Image from the Roaring Twenties by Arnold Genthe This evocative black and white portrait captures the enigmatic charm of Mrs. Wilhelm Meyer, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on November 3, 1919. The image is a testament to the unique fashion trends and cultural shifts that defined the 1910s in America. Arnold Genthe (1869-1942), a pioneering figure in American photography, captured this hauntingly beautiful image using a glass negative process. The photograph showcases Mrs. Meyer's elegant attire, which reflects the changing fashion landscape of the era. Her dress, with its high collar, long sleeves, and flowing skirt, embodies the transitional period between the Edwardian and flapper eras. Mrs. Meyer's intricately styled hairdo, with its voluminous waves and delicate pins, adds to the overall allure of the portrait. The image, taken against a plain backdrop, allows the subject's expressive eyes and refined features to take center stage. This portrait is part of the extensive Arnold Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The collection, which includes over 12,000 glass negatives, offers a fascinating glimpse into American life during the early 20th century. The Library of Congress, as the national library of the United States, preserves and makes accessible this invaluable heritage art for generations to come. This photograph, with its timeless quality and intriguing subject, serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to shape our world today.
