EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures a distinguished group of African American businessmen: M.W. Dogan, James Kelly, E. Hansberry, Walter M. Coshburn, and W.R. Pettiford. The image, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the fashion and business culture of the time. Each man is impeccably dressed in formal attire, donning suits and dress shirts, with crisp collars and polished shoes. M.W. Dogan, the oldest of the group, wears a dark suit with a striped vest, while James Kelly sports a light-colored suit and a bow tie. E. Hansberry and Walter M. Coshburn both wear dark suits with white collars, and W.R. Pettiford completes the ensemble with a dark suit and a striped tie. The men's expressions convey a sense of confidence and success, reflecting their roles as business leaders in their community. The photograph, though devoid of specific context, offers a valuable insight into the heritage and history of African American businessmen in the United States during the early 20th century. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer, but it is known that J.L. Nichols & Co. published this image. The company, based in New York City, was a prominent publisher of African American newspapers and images during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and heritage of African American businessmen and their contributions to American society.
