    Elegant Early 20th Century Society Lady Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph features Mrs. Thos. F. Manville Jr., a notable figure captured in the early 20th century by the Bain News Service, likely between 1910 and 1915. The era was marked by significant social change in the United States, with individuals like Mrs. Manville representing the growing influence of women in society and the arts. At this time, women were increasingly stepping into public roles and advocating for rights that would later lead to the suffrage movement.

    The photograph, created using a glass negative process, was a common method for capturing high-resolution images in that period. This technique allowed for remarkable clarity, making it possible to capture the details of clothing and fashion reflective of the time—particularly important as styles were shifting with cultural trends. The Bain News Service was known for its wide-ranging documentation of American public life, and Mrs. Manvilles portrait contributes to a broader understanding of individuals who played a part in the pulse of early 20th-century America.

    Examining such images offers more than just a glimpse of past fashion; they portray the people who shaped their communities, bringing the social dynamics of the time into focus. Mrs. Manvilles photograph serves as a historical document, illustrating the realities of lifestyle and identity during a pivotal time in American history.
