About this photograph

Arnold Genthe photographed Elitia Dor in 1935. The negative was made on safety film stock and measures five by seven inches.

Genthe worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style. He maintained a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York, where he continued photographing into the 1940s. He died in 1942.

This portrait belongs to a collection of roughly 20,000 items the Library of Congress acquired from Genthe's unclaimed studio after his death. The collection includes several thousand studio portraits alongside other bodies of work.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
