EDITORS COMMENTS
This quarter-length portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of a young African American woman dressed in formal attire, circa 1880-1889. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Henrici & Garns, showcases the woman wearing a large cross pendant at her neck, adding an intriguing layer to her identity. The background is simple, with a plain, sepia-toned backdrop that allows the subject's apparel and accessories to take center stage. The woman's dress is a beautiful example of 19th-century fashion, with a fitted bodice and full, voluminous skirt. The collar is adorned with delicate lace, adding a feminine touch to the formal ensemble. Her hair is styled in ringlets, a popular hairstyle of the time, framing her face and cascading down her back. The portrait was taken during a significant era in American history, a time of social and cultural change. The image is part of the vast collection held by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. The woman's expression, looking away from the camera, adds an air of mystery and intrigue, leaving us wondering about her story and the meaning behind the cross she wears. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States and the important role that photography played in documenting the lives of people during the 19th century. The legacy of Henrici & Garns, as well as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the past and the diverse experiences of people in America.
