Miss Henderson, 1918 Nov. 17: A Vision of Ancient Egypt in the 1910s This photograph, titled "Miss Henderson, 1918 Nov. 17," by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe, transports us back to the 1910s and invites us to explore the intriguing fusion of ancient Egyptian culture and modern American fashion. The young woman in the image, Miss Henderson, dons an elaborate costume inspired by the grandeur of Egyptian pharaohs. She wears a stunning headdress adorned with golden ankh symbols, a nod to the ancient Egyptian belief in eternal life. Her arms are adorned with golden bracelets and anklets, adding to the overall effect of her regal attire. The photograph was taken during a time when the fascination with ancient Egypt was at its peak in America. The discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 had sparked widespread interest in all things Egyptian, and this trend extended to fashion. The image of Miss Henderson, dressed as an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is a testament to this cultural phenomenon. The photograph, which is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a beautiful example of the artist's ability to capture the essence of a moment in time. The black and white glass negative adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a fascinating piece of both fashion and cultural history. The location of the photograph is unknown, but it is a reminder that the allure of ancient Egypt was not limited to any one place or social class in America during the 1910s. This unusual portrait invites us to reflect on the enduring appeal of ancient Egyptian culture and the ways in which it continues to influence our fashion and art today.
