EDITORS COMMENTS
Count Cisneros, a prominent aristocrat of the early 20th century, is depicted in this striking black and white portrait photograph taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on February 28, 1919. The Count's distinguished air is accentuated by his formal attire, which includes a dark coat with fur collar, crisp white shirt, and a monocle in his right eye. The glass negative captures every intricate detail of his textured clothing, from the subtle patterns on his waistcoat to the elegant creases in his trousers. The portrait exudes an aura of old-world charm and elegance, transporting us back to a time when aristocratic dress codes and social hierarchies held significant weight in American society. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage fashion and the rich heritage it represents. Arnold Genthe, a pioneer in the field of photography, captured this portrait as part of his extensive collection. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. now holds the Genthe Collection, which includes over 10,000 glass negatives, offering a unique glimpse into American history and culture during the 1910s. The location of the portrait remains undisclosed, but the Count's confident demeanor and impeccable attire suggest a formal setting, perhaps a congressional library or a grand estate. The contrast between the white and black tones in the image adds depth and dimension, further highlighting the Count's regal presence.
