EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Martin family, led by Reverend Benjamin Franklin Martin, in their Gastonia, North Carolina home between the years 1917 and 1923. The image showcases the warmth and love shared among the family members, with Reverend Martin proudly standing in the center, surrounded by his wife and their young children. The family's formal attire, including the children in dresses and suits, suggests a special occasion such as a Sunday church service or a family portrait session. Reverend Martin, a prominent figure in the Episcopal Church during the 1920s, is shown with a direct gaze towards the camera, exuding confidence and strength as a churchman and a father. His wife, dressed in a beautiful, flowing dress, tenderly holds their youngest child, while their older children gaze at the camera with curious expressions. The family's clothing, with its intricate patterns and textures, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time and highlights the family's sense of style and pride. This photograph is a precious piece of American heritage, offering a window into the lives of a black family during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the importance of family, faith, and the shared experiences that bind us together. The Martin family portrait is a cherished addition to the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the New York Public Library's extensive collection of historical photographs.
