EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures an unidentified African American man in formal attire, circa 1880-1889. The photograph was created by Charles Burgess, an accomplished 19th-century photographer based in Troy, New York, USA. The man stands confidently with his hands holding the sideboards of his dark suit, which is accessorized with a crisp white shirt, a dark bow tie, and a fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon. His facial hair, consisting of sideburns and a neatly groomed mustache, adds to his distinguished appearance. The sepia-toned image, a popular choice for portraits during this era, adds to the timeless quality of the photograph. The man's clothing, with its high collar and voluminous sleeves, reflects the formal fashion trends of the late 19th century. The portrait is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of the era, as well as the pride and dignity of the African American community during this period in American history. This photograph is part of the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The Schomburg Center is a renowned research institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the history and culture of people of African descent. This portrait, along with countless others in the collection, offers valuable insights into the lives and experiences of African Americans during the 19th century and beyond.
