EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the moment of a handshake between two men in Brazil during the late 19th century (inferred from the fashion and accessories). The men, dressed in formal attire, stand face-to-face, exchanging a warm greeting. One man wears a hat and holds an umbrella, suggesting the possibility of an outdoor meeting. The other man is dressed in a suit and holds a cane. Both men display a confident and friendly demeanor. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of men in Brazil during this time period. The image, likely a carte de visite, is part of the vast collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The Center's extensive holdings document the history and culture of people of African descent, making this photograph an important addition to the heritage art of the United States. The men's clothing and accessories offer insights into the fashion trends of the time, with the men's hats and suits reflecting the influence of European styles. The image also highlights the diversity of the population in Brazil, with one man appearing to be of African descent and the other of European descent. The handshake between the two men serves as a symbol of unity and connection, despite their racial differences. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Brazil and the United States, and the importance of preserving and studying historical images to better understand the past and the present.
