EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of an unidentified young African American woman from the late 19th century. Dressed in a formal attire, she dons a buttoned bodice and a band collar, typical of the Victorian era's fashion trends. The intricately designed coat, with its elegant sleeves and high neckline, adds to her sophisticated appearance. Her hair is styled in an elaborate Afro-American hairstyle, adorned with intricate braids and curls, framing her face and accentuating her features. The portrait was created by H. A. Insley, a photographer whose works are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 19th century. The image is a Carte de Visite, a popular photographic format during this time, which allowed people to exchange and collect portraits of their friends and family. The young woman in this portrait exudes an air of mystery and sophistication, her eyes looking away from the viewer, inviting us to ponder her thoughts and stories. This evocative image is a precious reminder of the diverse and complex history of African American women in America during the late 1800s. This portrait is part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The image, in sepia tones, is a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of African American women during a time of great change and transformation in American history.
