EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of an unidentified woman from the 20th century. With her hands gracefully resting in her lap, she sits facing the camera with a dignified presence. Dressed in a beautiful dress and coat, she exudes elegance and poise. Behind her, a structure with a stone foundation and shingled sides adds depth to the composition. The simplicity of the background allows for all attention to be drawn towards this mysterious woman. The photograph is encased in a plastic frame that features a double-edged design on the front and has a paper back. On one edge of the frame, there is an inscription revealing information about its maker: "THE LEE CO. PO. BOX 6173 MPLS. 24 MINN / ORDER NO. 12 - 5 x 7". Although we may not know who captured this remarkable image or have any details about its subject's identity, it serves as a powerful testament to African American heritage and history in America. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this gelatin silver print holds immense cultural significance within our country's narrative. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of both our shared past and our collective responsibility to honor those who came before us – their stories deserve recognition within our nation's rich tapestry.
