EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Black Couple, 1832" is a remarkable piece of art that offers a glimpse into the lives of African Americans in early 19th century America. The print, taken from Frances Trollope's renowned book "Domestic Manners of the Americans" portrays a black couple engaged in courtship on a bustling sidewalk. The couple exudes an air of confidence and liberation through their fashion choices. The man dons an elegant suit and hat, while his girlfriend wears a stylish dress with a parasol to shield herself from the sun. Their attire reflects both their personal taste and the evolving fashion trends of that era. In this lithograph, we witness not only courtship but also subtle flirtation between the two individuals. Their body language suggests affection as they engage in conversation amidst the busy street scene behind them. This image serves as a testament to love transcending societal barriers even during times when racial discrimination was prevalent. "Black Couple, 1832" provides us with valuable insight into African American history and challenges our preconceived notions about race relations in early America. It reminds us that love knows no boundaries and highlights the resilience and strength exhibited by black individuals during challenging times. This Granger Art on Demand print captures an important moment in history, allowing us to reflect upon how far we have come while acknowledging there is still work to be done towards achieving equality for all people regardless of race or background.
