EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe in 1916, showcases a group of dedicated women, including Violet Crosbie (seated, center), as they prepare for a Polish relief effort. The women, dressed in various stages of readiness, don their distinctive apparel adorned with armbands and white stoles, symbolizing their commitment to the cause. The image captures the essence of the era, with the women's fashionable attire featuring elegant hats, fur collars, and intricate dress designs. The women exude a sense of unity and purpose, their smiles reflecting the hope and determination that fueled their fundraising efforts for Poland during a time of great need. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, a period of significant social and political change in the United States and Europe. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power of community, charity, and the human spirit in times of adversity. The photograph is a glass negative, preserved in the vast collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring value of historical records and the stories they hold. This image not only showcases the fashion trends of the era but also offers a glimpse into the lives of these remarkable women and their commitment to making a difference in the world.
