About this photograph

Arnold Genthe photographed an individual identified in the archive as Mr. Pallenberg in 1931. The negative was produced on safety film stock and measures five by seven inches.

Genthe worked in the soft-focus pictorialist style and maintained a studio in New York during this period, having relocated from San Francisco in 1911. After his death in 1942, the Library of Congress acquired roughly 20,000 items from his unclaimed studio. The collection includes several thousand studio portraits alongside photographs of San Francisco's Chinatown, dance subjects, and autochromes.

The archive record provides no further information about the sitter's identity, occupation, or the circumstances of the sitting.

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