EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white daguerreotype captures the dignified presence of James Mux Priest, an influential figure in Liberian history. Born in America, Priest became a prominent Liberian colonist and served as Vice President of Liberia from 1864 to 1868. The image was skillfully captured by Augustus Washington around 1858. In this portrait, Priest exudes strength and determination, his eyes gazing confidently into the distance. Dressed in formal attire with a crisp collar and bowtie, he presents himself as a man of distinction. His neatly groomed beard adds to his air of wisdom and maturity. Priest's role as a missionary is evident through the cross pendant hanging from his neck, symbolizing his deep Christian faith. As one of the few African American leaders during that time period, he played a pivotal role in promoting Christianity among fellow Africans while advocating for their rights. The frame surrounding the daguerreotype adds an elegant touch to this historical artifact. It serves as a reminder that despite being taken over 160 years ago, this image continues to hold immense significance today. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand, this photograph allows us to glimpse into the life of James Mux Priest - a trailblazer who dedicated himself to improving conditions for African Americans both at home and abroad.
