EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on February 11, 1918, captures the enchanting figure of Charmian Kittredge London, the second wife of the celebrated American author Jack London. The image, now part of the Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases Charmian in a full-length dress, exuding an air of sophistication and elegance. The dress, with its intricate patterns and rich color palette, is a striking contrast to the monochromatic background, highlighting Charmian's stunning presence. Charmian Kittredge, born in 1868, was a remarkable woman in her own right, known for her intelligence, wit, and adventurous spirit. She met Jack London in 1904, and the two embarked on a passionate and tumultuous relationship that lasted until London's death in 1916. This portrait, taken during the height of her fame and influence, captures her in the prime of her life. Arnold Genthe, a pioneering figure in American photography, was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. In this image, he has beautifully captured the spirit of Charmian Kittredge London, a woman of substance and style, who played an integral role in the life and work of one of America's greatest authors. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of the written word and the visual image, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1910s.
