Charles Dana Gibson's Seven Hundred Acre Island

Genthe, Arnold, 1869-1942, photographer · ca. 1931

The image as transmitted appears blank or failed to render, making it impossible to describe figures, caption, or compositional details with any honesty. The catalog attributes this item to photographer Arnold Genthe (1869–1942), an unusual credit for a Life humor weekly plate—Genthe was known for his pictorialist photography of San Francisco's Chinatown and celebrity portraiture, not pen-and-ink cartooning. The subject, Gibson's private island retreat off the Maine coast, suggests this may be a photographic portrait or documentary image rather than a satirical cartoon. A reliable label cannot be written without a legible image. Curator's note: Please verify the scan and resubmit.
