EDITORS COMMENTS
Emily Holmes, a remarkable centenarian from Bridgeport, Connecticut, passed away suddenly, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and strength. Born in the late 1800s, Emily lived through an era of significant change and growth in American history. This beautiful portrait, captured by the skilled hands of Buell & Seaver around the turn of the century, captures Emily's timeless beauty and wisdom. Dressed in her finest formal attire, Emily sits before the camera with a direct gaze, her hands clasped in her lap. Her posture is regal and proud, reflecting the dignity and grace of a woman who had lived a long and full life. The portrait, now held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States during the 19th century. Emily's story, though brief in this caption, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past and honoring those who came before us.
