EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte de visite photograph, titled "Robert Douglass, dyeing and cleaning business, Washington, D.C. (c1870-c1879)" was created by the renowned photography duo M.P. & A.I. Rice. The image portrays a distinguished African American man named Robert Douglass, who operated a dyeing and cleaning business in the heart of Washington, D.C. during the late 19th century. The photograph captures Douglass in a formal attire, donning a well-tailored suit, complete with a coat, jacket, and waistcoat. His facial hair, featuring sideburns and a neatly groomed mustache, adds to his polished appearance. Douglass gazes away from the camera, creating an enigmatic and introspective atmosphere. The photograph was likely taken in the studio of M.P. & A.I. Rice, who were prominent photographers based in New York City during this period. The image is a significant historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the fashion trends and business culture of the time. It also highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of African Americans during the Reconstruction era, as they sought to establish businesses and contribute to the economic growth of their communities. This photograph is now part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States, and the important role they played in shaping the country's social, cultural, and economic landscape.
