1 negative : glass ; 5 x 7 in.


Arnold Genthe photographed Miss Kaskell in 1911, the final year of his San Francisco studio practice. The glass negative is held by the Library of Congress as part of a large collection acquired from Genthe's unclaimed studio after his death in 1942.

The archive record provides no further details about the sitter's identity, age, or the circumstances of the sitting. Genthe worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style, a photographic approach that emphasized artistic interpretation over sharp documentation.

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