EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic presence of Brother Joshua B. Matthews, an influential figure in the Presbyterian Church during the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1894, portrays Matthews as a distinguished clergyman, dressed in formal attire that includes a crisp white shirt, dark suit, and a striking bowtie. His attire, sourced from Edward Stern Co., reflects the fashion trends of the time, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of the era. Matthews, a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America, is depicted looking away from the camera, adding an air of mystery and introspection to his demeanor. The portrait, housed in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of African American religious leaders in the United States. As a minister and churchman, Matthews would have played a significant role in his community, providing spiritual guidance and support to his congregation. His clothing, a symbol of his status and commitment to his faith, would have been an essential aspect of his public persona. This photograph not only captures the essence of Matthews as an individual but also serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of religious leaders on American history and culture.
