About this photograph
Arnold Genthe photographed Father Frieden in 1907. The glass plate negative measures five by seven inches.
Genthe worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style and maintained a studio in San Francisco from 1896 to 1911 before relocating to New York. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired approximately 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio.
The archive record provides no further information about Father Frieden or the circumstances of the sitting.
