EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval portrait depicts an unidentified young African American woman from the late 19th century, circa 1880-1889. The woman is elegantly dressed in a formal attire, with a high-necked, long-sleeved dress adorned with intricate lace details. Her hair is styled in a voluminous ringlet curls, one of which is artfully draped over her chest, adding an alluring touch to the image. The portrait, which measures approximately 4 x 2.5 inches, is reminiscent of carte de visite photographs popular during this era. The sepia-toned print, with the inscription "Redd" on the verso, is part of the vast collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. The woman's attire and hairstyle reflect the fashion trends of the time, providing a glimpse into the lives of African American women during the late 19th century in the United States. This portrait not only showcases the beauty and elegance of the subject but also serves as an important historical artifact, offering insights into the heritage and culture of the African American community during this period. The portrait's oval shape and intricate details add to its timeless appeal, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or those interested in African American history and fashion.
