EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-portrait, titled "Half-portrait of young woman wearing large lace scarf over plaid bodice, c1880-c1889," is an exquisite work of art by the talented 19th century photographer, James O. Durgan. The image, housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, showcases a young African American woman in formal attire, dressed in a plaid bodice and adorned with a voluminous lace scarf. Her hair is styled in an elegant Afro, framing her face as she looks away from the camera, adding an enigmatic allure to the photograph. The photograph, which is estimated to have been taken between 1880 and 1889, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. The plaid bodice, a popular choice for formal wear during the late 19th century, is accentuated by the delicate lace scarf, which drapes gracefully over her shoulders. The monochromatic palette, with its sepia tones, adds to the timeless quality of the image. The photograph is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of American photography, providing a glimpse into the fashion and cultural trends of the time. It serves as a reminder of the diversity and complexity of American history, and the important role that photography plays in preserving and documenting the past.
