Paul Lawrence Dunbar, The Favorite Poet of the Race, 1907: A Portrait of Literary Excellence and Cultural Pride This black and white portrait showcases Paul Lawrence Dunbar, an influential African American poet and literary figure of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Dayton, Ohio, in the United States, Dunbar rose to prominence during a time when representation and recognition for Black voices in literature were scarce. Dressed in formal attire, Dunbar exudes an air of sophistication and confidence. The high collar shirt, crisp dress pants, and neatly tied bowtie are reminiscent of the fashion trends of the era. The portrait, produced by Atwell Printing and Binding Co. in 1907, captures the essence of a man who defied stereotypes and paved the way for future generations of Black writers. The portrait, now held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, is a testament to Dunbar's enduring legacy. His works, which included poetry, essays, and novels, explored the experiences of African Americans and challenged racial prejudice. As a favorite poet of the race, Dunbar's impact on American literature and culture cannot be overstated. His contributions to the literary world continue to inspire and influence artists, writers, and scholars alike. This portrait serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history that lies within the pages of our nation's libraries and the importance of preserving and celebrating the stories and voices of those who have come before us.
