    Elegant 1914 Portrait of New Yorks Monica Borden

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Monica Borden, a notable figure from the early 20th century, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe on February 5, 1914, in New York City. Genthe, known for his portraits of famous personalities, had a keen eye for detail and an ability to capture the essence of his subjects, which is evident in this image. The photograph is a glass negative, a popular medium of the time that allowed for high-resolution images, which were crucial for newspapers and publications aiming to depict realism in their stories.

    During this period, New York City was a vibrant cultural hub and a melting pot of immigrant communities. It was the dawn of the modern era, where traditional norms were challenged, and new social dynamics were emerging, particularly for women. Monica Borden represents one of the many individuals navigating the complexities of life in a rapidly changing city. Her image serves as a glimpse into the social landscape of the early 1900s, a time when women were beginning to assert their roles beyond domestic spheres, contributing significantly to art, culture, and public life.

    As a product of the Bain News Service, which documented significant events and individuals of the time, this photograph not only highlights Borden herself but also sheds light on the photographic techniques and journalistic practices that were evolving. By capturing the spirit of the time, Genthe’s work continues to provide valuable insights into the lives of people who shaped the very fabric of New York City and, by extension, American society.
