EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of fashion and elegance in the mid-19th century, as depicted in this stunning image of a young African American woman. Dressed in a beautiful patterned dress with a bow at the neckline, she exudes confidence and poise as she gazes directly at the camera. The dress, which features a crinoline hoop skirt and full petticoat, was a popular choice for formal occasions during this period. The intricate design of the fabric, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, adds to the overall allure of the portrait. This photograph, created by the renowned duo Coss & Leach, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 19th century. The image was taken around 1860, a time when photography was becoming increasingly popular and accessible to the general public. This particular portrait is part of the vast collection housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, located within the New York Public Library. The woman's direct gaze and the simple yet elegant setting of the portrait add to its timeless appeal. The use of black and white in the photograph enhances the contrast and texture of the fabric, bringing the intricate details of the dress to the forefront. This portrait is not only a beautiful piece of art but also a significant historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of a bygone era.
