EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of The Ravens, an influential African American musical group from the 1940s, as they pose for renowned photographer William Paul Gottlieb. Taken in 1938 during the golden age of jazz, the image features the quartet's four charismatic members - Rod Raffel, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Moe Asch, and Johnnie Lee, all dressed smartly in suits and ties. Their youthful energy and camaraderie radiate from the photograph, making it a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during this era. The location of the shoot is not definitively known, but the image is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a fitting tribute to the group's enduring legacy in American music history. The photograph, taken as a film negative, has been beautifully preserved and continues to inspire and delight audiences, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the power of music to bring people together.
