EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 19th-century photograph, a group of children of various ethnicities frolic and play in Jackson Square, New Orleans, Louisiana, in the year 1882. The square, a historic landmark and cultural hub, is bustling with activity as people go about their daily lives. In the foreground, a Caucasian nursemaid, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, keeps a watchful eye over a group of African American and Afro-American boys and girls. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, exhibit a range of emotions from joy and laughter to curiosity and playful mischief. The mixed-race group represents the rich cultural diversity of New Orleans during this era. This image, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the shared experiences of children from different backgrounds. The photograph also underscores the importance of childcare and the responsibilities of caretakers in ensuring the well-being and happiness of their charges. The image, with its timeless charm, serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between caregivers and children and the role that public libraries play in preserving and sharing our collective history.
