EDITORS COMMENTS
Nutmeg, Red Flannel, and Silver: A 1920s Portrait of Newbell Niles Puckett This hauntingly poignant photograph, titled "Nutmeg, Red Flannel, and Silver," captures the introspective gaze of an unidentified African American man, Newbell Niles Puckett, in the midst of the 1920s in the United States. The image, a halftone photomechanical print, was created around 1926 and is now part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. Puckett, dressed in a simple red flannel shirt and bare feet, clutches a small nutmeg in one hand and a silver coin in the other. The nutmeg, a common spice in American cooking and a symbol of good luck, adds an intriguing layer of meaning to the image. The direct gaze of Puckett, as he looks straight at the camera, invites the viewer to ponder the story behind his eyes and the hardships he may have faced during this era of significant change in American history. The image, a testament to the rich heritage and folklore of African American life in the United States, is a reminder of the resilience and strength of the human spirit. It is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Press University of North Carolina, offering a glimpse into the past and a connection to our shared history. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse stories and experiences that make up the fabric of our nation's history.
