EDITORS COMMENTS
Great discovery in the vast collections of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library! This carte de visite, titled "Kim & Jennie to Laura H. Fredille, 1869," was created by the skilled photographer B.F. Reimer. The image showcases two lovely sisters, Kim and Jennie, standing side by side in formal attire. The older sister, Kim, wears a beautiful, high-necked, long-sleeved dress with a full skirt, while Jennie dons a similar yet shorter dress. Both girls exhibit a direct gaze, engaging the viewer with their expressive eyes. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse heritage of America during the nineteenth century. The sisters' mixed ethnicity is evident in their striking features, which reflect the complex tapestry of cultures that shaped the United States. The sepia tones of the image add a timeless quality, inviting us to ponder the lives of these two girls and their connection to Laura H. Fredille. The location of the photograph is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been taken in either Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or New York, based on the provenance of the carte de visite. Regardless of the exact place, this portrait serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of B.F. Reimer and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which continues to preserve and celebrate the stories of African Americans and their contributions to American history.
