EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lt. Governor Oscar J. Dunn, a prominent African-American politician, musician, and businessman during the late 19th century in America. The albumen print carte-de-visite portrait captures him with an air of confidence and poise. Standing with his right foot slightly forward and left arm resting on a pedestal, he exudes authority. Dunn is dressed impeccably in a dark-colored suit, complemented by a vest and bowtie that add to his distinguished appearance. A watch chain adorns his vest on the right side, hinting at both style and punctuality. His gaze pierces through the camera lens as he looks directly into it, revealing determination and strength. The inscription at the top reads "Lieut Gov. Oscar J. Dunn of Louisiana" emphasizing his significant role as Lieutenant Governor during this period in history when African-Americans faced immense challenges in politics. This photograph not only captures Dunn's individuality but also represents an important milestone for black Americans striving for political representation amidst racial adversity. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Dunn's legacy within American history—a symbol of resilience, progress, and cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations today.
