EDITORS COMMENTS
Andrea Razafikerio, a prominent figure in the Harlem Renaissance era of the 1910s and 1920s, is captured in this striking black and white portrait. The image, of unknown origin, depicts Razafikerio wearing a formal suit, complete with a flat cap and a dress headdress, or headdress, known as a "head dress" in some African cultures. Razafikerio, also known as Andriamanantena Paul Razafinkarefo and Andy Razaf, was a composer, lyricist, and singer, who made significant contributions to the world of jazz and blues music during this period. This photograph, taken most likely in New York City, showcases Razafikerio's bold and confident demeanor, as he gazes directly at the camera with a piercing stare. The formal attire, including the dress and the cap, suggest a sense of pride and heritage, reflecting the cultural influences of the time. The backdrop of the image, which appears to be a library or a periodical room, adds to the intellectual and artistic atmosphere of the era. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, is a leading institution for the preservation and study of materials related to the global black experience. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the African American community during the 1910s and 1920s, and serves as an important reminder of the significant contributions made by individuals like Andrea Razafikerio to American culture.
