EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century carte de visite features an unidentified African American woman, dressed in a formal, full-length dress, standing before a plain backdrop. The woman gazes directly at the camera with a confident and poised expression, holding a handkerchief delicately in her right hand. The intricately designed dress, with its high collar, long sleeves, and full skirt, is reminiscent of the fashionable clothing of the time. The sepia-toned image, created by the Sims Photograph Gallery between 1860 and 1869, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the subject. The woman's natural hair, styled in an Afro texture, adds to the authenticity of the portrait. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich cultural heritage of African Americans during the 19th century in the United States. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, housed at the New York Public Library.
