EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century carte de visite features an esteemed figure in African American history, Bishop Daniel Alexander Payne. The photograph, taken between 1860 and 1869, showcases Payne in a formal studio setting, dressed in a dark suit and vest, complete with a crisp white collar and cuffs. He wears a top hat and carries a cane, adding to his distinguished appearance. Payne's piercing gaze directly into the camera creates an intimate connection with the viewer. Born a free man in South Carolina, Payne was an influential figure in the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME Church) and education. He served as the Bishop of the AME Church from 1852 until his death in 1893. Payne was also a dedicated educator, founding the Wilberforce University in Ohio in 1856, which was the first institution of higher learning for African Americans in the United States. Payne's impact on American history extends beyond religion and education. He was an advocate for civil rights and equality, and played a significant role in the Underground Railroad, helping to transport enslaved people to freedom. This photograph is a testament to Payne's legacy as a trailblazer, a leader, and a champion for justice and equality. This image is part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture's collection at the New York Public Library. The Schomburg Center is a renowned research institution dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history and culture of people of African descent. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Center's extensive collection, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the important contributions made by individuals like Bishop Payne.
