EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Cross-Road Lounger," dates back to 1882 and captures a moment of casual interaction between a mixed-race group of individuals at a rural crossroads. The scene is set in the United States of America during the nineteenth century, and the image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and diverse population of the country during this period. The photograph, housed in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, depicts a group of men and women, both African American and Caucasian, gathered around a fence at the side of the road. The women wear simple, rustic dresses, while the men don work clothes and rags. One young man sits casually on the crossroads sign, while others engage in animated conversation. The image is a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of rural communities during this era and the importance of oral tradition and storytelling. The crossroads, a common gathering place, served as a symbol of community and the exchange of ideas. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the history and heritage of America's diverse population. The photograph is an excellent example of regionalism in American art, showcasing the unique character and charm of rural life during the late 1800s. Despite the lack of information about the creator of this image, it remains a valuable addition to the historical record and a testament to the power of a single photograph to transport us to another time and place.
