EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic postcard, created by The Rex Photo Studio between 1918 and 1930, transports us back to a significant era in American history. The image showcases an elegant African American woman standing gracefully with her hand atop a beautifully adorned vase. Her attire reflects the fashion of the time, as she dons a long skirt and jacket complemented by delicate earrings. The backdrop behind her is meticulously painted, adding depth and charm to the composition. This full-length portrait captures not only the physical beauty of its subject but also hints at her inner strength and resilience. Turning our attention to the reverse side of this postcard, we find it unused with clearly marked spaces for correspondence and address. A distinctive [AZO] stamp adorns the upper right corner while a photographer's stamp proudly represents The Rex Photo Studio's artistry. As we admire this remarkable piece from America's past, it serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage. It stands as a testament to both individual identity and collective history within black communities during that period. Preserved now within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this photograph offers us an invaluable glimpse into early 20th-century life in the United States. Through its timeless black-and-white aesthetic, it invites contemplation on themes such as identity, representation, and societal progress—a powerful tribute indeed.
