EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Louisa McDonald, Mother, 1916: A Portrait of Determination and Love This evocative photograph captures the image of Mrs. Louisa McDonald, an African American mother, in the early 1910s. The setting is unknown, but the powerful expression on her face and the intricate details of her attire transport us to a bygone era. Mrs. McDonald, dressed in a high-necked blouse and a long, full skirt, gazes directly at the camera with a look of quiet determination. Her earrings, large and ornate, add a touch of elegance to her appearance. The oval-shaped photograph, with its subtle tonal variations, showcases the textures of her clothing and the fine details of her features. As a mother, Mrs. McDonald exudes a sense of strength and resilience. Her posture is confident, and her gaze is steady, suggesting that she is a woman who has faced challenges and emerged stronger for it. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of motherhood and the sacrifices that mothers make for their children. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a precious addition to the vast collection of African American history and heritage art housed in the library. The photograph's unknown creator adds to its mystery and allure, making it a fascinating study in the history of photography and the African American experience in the United States during the early 20th century. This image of Mrs. Louisa McDonald, a mother from an era long past, serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of African Americans in the United States and the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
