About this photograph
Arnold Genthe photographed Helen Carr in his studio in 1906. The portrait survives as a glass negative measuring five by seven inches.
Genthe maintained a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York. He worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired approximately 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio, including several thousand studio portraits.
The negative offers no further details about Helen Carr or the circumstances of the sitting.
