EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-tone photomechanical print depicts Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden, a prominent African and African American figure, in two distinct periods of his life: 1894 and 1906. The image, created by an unknown photographer, showcases Blyden's strong and direct gaze, as he looks intently at the camera. In the earlier photograph from 1894, Blyden is dressed in formal attire, wearing a dark suit and a crisp white shirt, with a bow tie and a hat adorning his head. This outfit suggests his role as a diplomat or politician, as he was a prominent figure in Liberian politics and served as Liberia's Commissioner to the United States from 1893 to 1896. In the second image from 1906, Blyden's appearance has changed slightly, with his hair appearing more gray and his clothing more casual, yet still maintaining a formal air. He is dressed in a dark suit jacket, with a lighter colored shirt and a striped tie. Blyden was a prolific writer, educator, and political thinker, who advocated for the unity of the African diaspora and the African continent. He spent much of his life promoting education and self-improvement among Africans and African Americans. This rare and intriguing print is part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The image serves as a powerful reminder of Blyden's significant contributions to African and African American history, and his enduring legacy as a trailblazer and visionary leader.
