EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-coloured engraving from 1883, we are introduced to Public Porter B. Jackson, a remarkable figure of the 19th century. Dressed in his distinguished uniform and top hat, Jackson exudes an air of professionalism and pride as he kneels beside his trusty hand cart. The image transports us back to a time when porters like Jackson played an essential role in society. With their aprons and carts, they were responsible for transporting luggage and goods with utmost care and efficiency. Their dedication was evident in every detail - from the neatly stacked trunks to the meticulously arranged tuck box and portmanteau. As an African American porter, Jackson's presence challenges societal norms of that era. His inclusion in this print is a testament to the resilience and contributions of individuals who often went unnoticed or underappreciated. The artist skillfully captures not only the physicality of Jackson's work but also his quiet strength and dignity. We can almost feel the weight on his shoulders as he carries out his duties with unwavering determination. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared history - one that recognizes both the struggles faced by marginalized communities and their invaluable contributions to society. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still much work ahead towards equality for all.
