EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled "Shaw, Russell, Master" or "Master Russell Thaw," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916. The image showcases a young boy, identified as Russell Thaw, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era. The boy dons a collared shirt, a dark coat, and a bowler hat, accessorized with a scarf and leather shoes. His expression is serious and confident, reflecting the maturity beyond his years. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, is known for his glass negatives and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This portrait of Russell Thaw was likely taken in a studio setting, with a plain background that allows the boy and his attire to stand out. The image offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the early 1900s in the United States, particularly in children's wear. The clothing worn by Russell Thaw was likely considered fashionable and sophisticated for the time, with a focus on tailored fits and classic styles. The portrait also provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a young boy from the early 20th century. Russell Thaw's serious expression and well-dressed appearance suggest that he came from a privileged background, possibly connected to the political or social elite of the time. This portrait is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to the enduring value of Arnold Genthe's work and the historical significance of this image.
