EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of an Older Woman, Standing, Holding Bonnet, c1860" by CK Bill, offers a glimpse into the rich fashion history of the 19th century. The image, captured in black and white, showcases an African American woman dressed in formal attire, standing proudly before a plain backdrop. The woman wears a full crinoline hoop skirt, adorned with a voluminous petticoat, and a high-waisted hoopskirt, both popular fashion trends during this era. She completes her ensemble with a bonnet, delicately holding it in her hand. The portrait, which is part of the extensive collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the elegance and sophistication of African American women during this period. The woman's confident and regal posture exudes a sense of pride and self-assurance, making this portrait a significant addition to the annals of American history. The image, which is believed to have been taken in New York State, United States, during the nineteenth century, is a poignant reminder of the cultural heritage and fashion traditions that have shaped our collective history. The portrait, which is a carte de visite, is a small, rectangular photograph, measuring approximately 10 x 6.5 cm, and is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and fashion enthusiasts alike, offering insights into the fashion trends, social norms, and cultural practices of the time. The portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of African American women and their contributions to American history and culture.
