EDITORS COMMENTS
A Short Sunday Sermon," a captivating and evocative photograph by Jay Campbell Phillips, captures a moment of quiet reflection and simple joy from the late 19th century. The image, taken in 1899, showcases a group of African American boys and girls clad in their Sunday best, gathered around the edge of a tranquil body of water. The children, with their bare feet and wide grins, are intently focused on the boys' attempt to catch fish using a fishing rod. The photograph is a beautiful example of the Regionalism art movement, which celebrated rural life and the unique character of American communities. Phillips expertly employs the halftone process, a popular photomechanical printing technique of the time, to create a striking contrast between the rich colors of the children's clothing and the monochromatic tones of the natural setting. The boys wear coats and hats, while the girls don dresses and bonnets, all adorned with intricate patterns and bold colors. The children's expressions range from mischievous to thoughtful, adding depth and character to the scene. The girls hide behind one another, peering curiously at the boys' fishing endeavor. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the daily life and heritage of African American communities during the late 19th century. It is a testament to the joy and innocence of childhood, as well as the connection between people and their natural surroundings. The image is a cherished piece of history, now preserved in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the New York Public Library. Phillips' "A Short Sunday Sermon" is an enduring reminder of the beauty and richness of American history, and the simple pleasures that bring people together.
