EDITORS COMMENTS
BLACK LIFE, 1888. Their Pride" is a captivating print that transports us to the late 19th century America, offering a glimpse into the daily life of an African American family. The wood engraving, created in 1888 by Thomas Hovenden after his painting, beautifully captures the essence of this domestic scene. In this intimate interior setting, we see a husband and wife standing proudly alongside their son and mother. Despite facing poverty and societal challenges, there is an undeniable sense of dignity emanating from each family member. Their clothes may be worn and modest, but they wear them with pride. The composition skillfully portrays the unity within this household as they gather together in their humble abode. The woman stands tall beside her husband while holding her young son's hand; she exudes strength and resilience as the matriarch of the family. The father stands confidently next to his wife, embodying both protection and provider for his loved ones. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of Black life during this era - one marked by struggle yet also characterized by perseverance and familial bonds that transcend adversity. It invites us to reflect on the experiences faced by African Americans at that time while celebrating their unwavering spirit. Granger Art on Demand has once again curated a powerful piece that allows us to connect with history through art.
