EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures the enigmatic allure of an unidentified African American woman from the late 19th century. Dressed in elegant attire, she dons a wide, intricately patterned lace collar that frames her face and adds an air of sophistication. The woman confidently leans on her elbow, her gaze fixed on a distant point, exuding a sense of quiet strength and self-assuredness. The photograph was taken by the renowned Richmond Photograph Co between 1880 and 1889. The image is a testament to the evolving fashion trends of the time, with the woman's dress featuring a high neckline, fitted bodice, and full skirt, which were popular during this period. The sepia tone adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. This portrait is a precious addition to the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States during the 19th century, providing valuable insights into their lives, fashion, and culture. The image invites us to ponder the woman's story, her experiences, and the world she inhabited, making it a fascinating and intriguing piece of history.
