EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white cabinet card photograph, taken by the renowned Schmitz Studio around 1890, offers a glimpse into the lives of an African-American couple during this era. The couple stands gracefully behind a chair, exuding elegance and sophistication in their formal attire. The woman wears a dark colored skirt and top, complemented by her dark fingerless gloves that add a touch of refinement to her ensemble. Her left hand rests gently on the back of the chair, showcasing her poise and grace. The man is dressed impeccably in a dark colored suit with a light colored shirt and bowtie, epitomizing Victorian fashion trends. His left hand also rests on the chair back as he stands confidently beside his partner. Together, they radiate an air of dignity and pride. Printed below the photograph are the words "Schmitz" and "Mt. Pleasant, Iowa" indicating both the photographer's name and location where this moment was captured for eternity. This image serves as more than just a portrait; it represents an important piece of African-American history from the late 19th century. Preserved within gelatin silver prints at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it showcases not only their clothing choices but also provides insight into their cultural heritage. Through this remarkable photograph by Schmitz Studio, we are transported back in time to witness two individuals who defied societal norms with their style and presence - leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
