EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, captured in Brazil during the late 19th century (inferred to be around 1890), showcases an intimate moment between a barber and his client. The photograph, likely a carte de visite, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of both Brazil and the African American community in the United States during this time. The barber, dressed in a simple coat and shirt, sits confidently in a wooden chair, his focus intently on the task at hand. His client, also dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, sits before him, his beard being meticulously trimmed. The barber's tools of the trade - a straight razor, a mirror, and a basin - are arranged neatly on the table beside them. The setting, with its ornate furniture and decorative elements, suggests a sense of professionalism and respectability. The barber shop, a common gathering place for men of the community, served as a hub for social interaction and the exchange of news and information. This photograph, a testament to the importance of personal grooming and the barber's craft, offers a window into the past and a reminder of the shared experiences and traditions that connect us across time and place. This photograph is part of the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a poignant reminder of the rich and complex history of the African American experience in the United States and beyond, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our heritage.
