EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic charm of Chandler Leeper, an African American woman from the late 19th century, as she gracefully leans on an ornate chair, her elbow resting on a table adorned with a decorative cloth. Dressed in a formal, high-collared dress with intricate patterns, Chandler exudes an air of sophistication and elegance. The sepia-toned image, created by renowned photographer Jesse F. Richardson, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the time. The photograph, titled "Portrait of Chandler Leeper," is a Carte de Visite, a popular format for photographic portraits during the 1860s to the late 1890s. This particular image is part of the extensive collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, housed within the New York Public Library. The location of the portrait session is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken in the United States during the late 1880s. The image serves as an essential reminder of the rich heritage and history of African Americans during this period, providing valuable insights into their lives, fashion, and cultural identity. The photograph's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or research on African American history and 19th-century American culture.
