Description
Silver gelatin print.
Photo: 24.1 x 18.4 cm
Photo and larger card: 45.8 x 35.4 cm
It appears Grainger liked this image very much, as the collection contains multiple copies signed by the photographer. Arnold Genthe was a celebrity photographer who worked in San Francisco and later New York. Genthe’s great contribution to photographic history is his documentation of San Francisco's China Town before it was completely destroyed by fire in 1906. He used a concealed camera and is considered to be one of the first modern street photographers. Genthe’s technique of catching his subject unaware translated into the studio, where his sitters seem unposed and captured mid-thought.
