EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print from the 1890s showcases Reverend Nelson W. Jordan, an influential figure in African American history. The unknown creator of this brownish photograph captured Rev. Jordan in a three-quarter portrait, his body slightly turned to the left but facing directly towards the camera. Dressed impeccably in a dark-colored three-piece suit and a matching tie, he exudes an air of dignity and authority. Rev. Jordan's beard and mustache add to his distinguished appearance, while a pocket watch hints at his punctuality and commitment to timekeeping. The verso of this textured paper print bears his name handwritten in graphite, providing us with valuable historical context. As we delve into black history, it is important to acknowledge figures like Rev. Nelson W. Jordan who played significant roles within their communities during challenging times in America's past. This photograph serves as a testament to both his religious devotion as well as his contribution to African American heritage. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this albumen print offers us a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary man whose impact reverberates through generations even though little is known about him or the photographer behind this remarkable image. Through photography, we are able to connect with our cultural heritage by immortalizing moments that would otherwise be lost to time - allowing future generations to appreciate and learn from those who came before them.
