EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic beauty and charm of Adele Ray, an American actress of the early 20th century, on July 8, 1914. The photograph, created by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Adele in a full-length, elegant dress adorned with a flowing sash and a garland of flowers. The image, taken as a glass negative, transports us back to the 1910s, a time of change and innovation in both fashion and entertainment. Adele's expressive hairstyle, with its intricate curls and delicate hairdo, adds to her allure. She gazes away from the camera, her hand gracefully gesturing towards a nearby plant, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the image. The photograph was taken against a natural backdrop, with the artistically placed flowers and plants enhancing the connection between Adele and the countryside. As a performer, Adele was known for her captivating stage presence and versatility, appearing in various productions, including dance performances. This portrait, a still image from her acting career, serves as a testament to her timeless beauty and talent. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of American acting and fashion during the 1910s.
