EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "OKLAHOMA: JAILHOUSE, c1893" takes us back to the late 19th century in Enid, Oklahoma. In this snapshot of history, a group of men stands proudly in front of the town's first jailhouse. The rugged frontier atmosphere is palpable as these brave frontiersmen pose for the camera. One particular detail catches our attention - a ball and chain placed at the foot of the man standing in the doorway. This symbolizes both punishment and confinement, reminding us that justice was served within those prison walls. The image showcases an intriguing mix of African American and Caucasian men united by their shared role in maintaining law and order on the wild western frontier. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era with hats, overcoats, vests, and other distinct garments. As we gaze through this window into history, we are transported to a time when Enid was still a territory rather than an established county. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human resilience amidst challenging circumstances. This remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection offers us an opportunity to reflect on America's past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
