EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait captures Lottie Grimke, a pioneering teacher and poet, in the late 19th century. Dressed in a formal, high-collared dress with intricate collar detailing and a modest, long-sleeved design, Lottie gazes away from the camera with a thoughtful expression. The image, taken by renowned photographer Charles Milton Bell, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the African American community during this period. Born in Philadelphia in 1843, Lottie Grimke was a trailblazer in education and literature. She began her teaching career in Washington, D.C. and later moved to New York City, where she continued to educate and inspire young minds. Her poetry, which reflected her experiences as an African American woman, was published in various anthologies and journals. This photograph, a Carte de Visite, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States during the 19th century. It is part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, a vital resource for exploring the diverse experiences and contributions of people of African descent. The image, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, continues to captivate and inspire viewers today.
