Capturing the Essence of African American Prosperity in 1900 Atlanta, Georgia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "GEORGIA: HOME, c1900" offers a glimpse into the lives of an affluent African American lawyer and his family residing in Atlanta. Taken by renowned photographer Thomas E. Askew around the turn of the century, this sepia-toned image showcases not only their beautiful house but also their remarkable achievements. The imposing architecture of their late 19th-century home stands as a testament to both elegance and success. Positioned proudly on its porch, this upper-class family exudes confidence and sophistication. The man, undoubtedly the accomplished lawyer himself, radiates authority while standing beside his elegant wife who embodies grace and poise. Their children playfully occupy the steps leading up to their grand entrance - symbols of hope for future generations. Dressed impeccably in early 20th-century fashion, they represent a promising future amidst a society still grappling with racial inequality. This photograph is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates an era when African Americans defied societal barriers to establish themselves as prominent figures within Southern communities like Atlanta. It serves as a reminder that even during challenging times, resilience can lead to prosperity. Granger Art on Demand presents this extraordinary piece from its collection without commercial intent but rather seeks to celebrate historical moments that inspire reflection and appreciation for those who paved the way towards progress.
