EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portraits of Men, Brazil, 1890 (Inferred)" is an intriguing glimpse into the past, showcasing two men in a formal setting, captured in black and white. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, adding to its allure. The photograph is believed to have been taken during the 19th century, a time of great change and exploration in both Brazil and the United States. The men in the photograph are dressed in their Sunday best, with one wearing a crisp white shirt and the other in a dark suit and tie. They stand face to face, gazing directly at the camera, their expressions serious and confident. The background is simple, with a basket or prop of some kind visible behind them. The location of the photograph is uncertain, but it is known to be from Brazil, adding an exotic and intriguing element to the image. The men's skin tones suggest that they are of African descent, making this photograph an important addition to the heritage and history of African Americans and Afro-Brazilians. This photograph is a rare find, as it is a carte de visite, a popular form of photography in the 19th century. The small size and portable nature of these images made them a popular choice for sharing and collecting. This photograph is now part of the vast collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. It is a reminder of the rich history and diverse heritage of people of African descent, both in Brazil and in the United States. The photograph invites us to look closely and consider the stories and experiences of these two men, whose faces have been preserved in time.
