This photograph was taken by the renowned portraitist Arnold Genthe, a pivotal figure in nineteenth and twentieth-century photography. It offers a vivid glimpse into collegiate life and high society in the United States during the early twentieth century. Born in Germany, Genthe moved to the U.S. in 1895 and settled in San Francisco. This city became the main canvas for his intimate portraits, capturing its diverse population. His candid approach, often photographing subjects without their awareness, imparted a journalistic realism to his work. This image features female students at the prestigious Barnard College, a liberal arts institution within Columbia University in Manhattan. Founded in 1889, Barnard has produced numerous alumni who've become leaders in various fields. Its rich history and academic excellence have consistently attracted a diverse student body that significantly influences the contemporary social milieu. Genthe captures this unique moment in history, and the photo immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. The distinctive aesthetic found in Genthe's work is also on display here, and the photo bears a classic aesthetic and makes this an authentic piece of American photographic and higher education history.
