EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Market Woman, Brazil," dates back to the late 19th century and was captured by the renowned photography duo Henschel & Benque. The image showcases a market woman from Brazil, seated at her stall, surrounded by an array of fruits and accessories. Dressed in traditional attire, she wears a vibrant head wrap adorned with intricate patterns, which complements her colorful apparel. In one hand, she holds a ripe pineapple, while the other cradles a tobacco pipe, suggesting a moment of respite from her busy day as a trader. The photograph, a Carte de Visite, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Brazil and the African diaspora. The woman's strong, confident posture and the intricate details of her headdress and accessories convey a sense of pride and tradition. The parasol next to her suggests the tropical climate of her homeland. This photograph, part of the vast collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the diverse occupations and traditions of people in the Americas during the 19th century. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photography or cultural studies, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to influence our world today.
