Skinning the Lamb, c1910 - A Glimpse into a Complex Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Skinning the Lamb, c1910" offers us a thought-provoking glimpse into an era of American history that was marked by racial tensions and social inequality. Depicting three African American men engrossed in a game of cards, it reveals a scene filled with both camaraderie and exploitation. In this sepia-toned image, two men are seen skillfully fleecing or taking advantage of their companion while playing cards. The barman observes them with a knowing smile on his face, suggesting complicity or perhaps amusement at this common practice. Amidst the haze of smoke from their tobacco pipes, these individuals engage in what appears to be a pastime enjoyed during leisure hours. The setting is an intimate interior space - likely a country bar - where people sought solace and entertainment after long days of work. It is important to acknowledge that this portrayal reflects prevalent stereotypes and caricatures prevalent during that time period. As we reflect upon this photograph today, we must recognize the complexities embedded within its imagery. It serves as a reminder of the systemic injustices faced by African Americans in early 20th century America while also highlighting moments of connection and shared experiences among individuals who were often marginalized. Preserved by The Print Collector29 (not the company), this historical artifact invites us to contemplate our nation's past and encourages dialogue about progress towards equality for all
