EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait captures the enigmatic gaze and self-assured demeanor of a young African American woman, estimated to have been taken between 1890 and 1899. The photograph, created by the unknown artist M Yogg, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of the African American community in the late 19th century in the United States. The woman, dressed in a high-necked blouse and long, flowing skirt, exudes an air of wisdom and intelligence, her expressive eyes fixed on an unseen horizon. Her short, natural hair frames her face, adding to her distinctive and unique beauty. The portrait was likely taken in a studio, as evidenced by the even lighting and crisp focus. This image is a precious gem from the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. It offers a glimpse into the lives of African Americans during a time of great social and political change, and serves as an important reminder of the resilience and strength of this community. The portrait invites us to listen to the untold stories of the past and to reflect on the wisdom and experiences of those who came before us. The photograph's black and white composition adds to its timeless quality, making it a striking addition to any collection or display. Whether used as a conversation starter, a source of inspiration, or a reminder of the complex history of the African American experience in America, this portrait by M Yogg is a powerful and evocative work of art.
