EDITORS COMMENTS
This studio portrait captures the enigmatic gaze of a young African American woman, her head turned to her right, in an image dating back to the late 19th century. The photograph, created by the renowned studio of Stanton & Burdick, Unknown, showcases the subject's delicate features and intricate hairstyle, which is adorned with a ribbon and held in place by pins. The woman's clothing suggests a middle-class upbringing, with a high-necked blouse and a full, voluminous skirt. The photograph, which is estimated to have been taken between 1880 and 1900, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of African Americans during this period in the United States. The image is part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a renowned research institution located within the New York Public Library. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it offers a glimpse into the lives of African American girls and teenagers during the 19th century, a time of significant social and political change in the United States. This hauntingly beautiful portrait invites viewers to ponder the woman's story and the experiences that shaped her life. The image is a testament to the power of photography to preserve history and evoke emotion, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical photographs or African American studies.
