EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Geo. Potter, 1894," features an unidentified African American man named George Potter, captured in a striking circular portrait. The image, believed to have been taken in the late 19th century, likely in the United States, possibly in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, showcases Potter in the role of a clergyman or churchman, dressed in the attire of a Presbyterian minister. The circular shape of the photograph adds an intriguing element to the image, making it a unique and captivating piece of history. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which is a part of the New York Public Library. The origins of the photograph are unknown, but it was published by Edward Stern & Co., a publishing company based in New York City. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of African American religious leaders during the 19th century in the United States. Potter's strong gaze and confident posture convey a sense of authority and dedication to his faith. The photograph, with its subtle tonal variations, adds to the timeless quality of the image and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of African American history and culture. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on African American history, religion, or portraiture. Its circular shape and intriguing subject make it a standout piece, and its provenance from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture adds to its historical significance. This image invites us to reflect on the lives and contributions of African American religious leaders during a pivotal time in American history.
