EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century studio portrait showcases a young African American woman, dressed in formal attire and adorned with a delicate chain necklace and earrings. The oval-shaped image, which measures approximately 3 and 1/2 inches by 2 and 1/2 inches, is a testament to the pride and self-assuredness of its subject. The woman gazes directly at the camera with a steady, confident gaze, her dark eyes piercing through the photograph. The portrait, estimated to have been taken between 1880 and 1889, is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage and history of African Americans during this period in American history. The intricate detailing of her dress, with its high collar and full skirt, is a reflection of the fashion trends of the time. The frame, which adds to the overall elegance of the portrait, further emphasizes the significance of this image as a valuable piece of historical art. This portrait is part of the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, housed at the New York Public Library. The Schomburg Center, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving the history and culture of people of African descent, is home to an extensive collection of photographs, manuscripts, and other materials that tell the story of the African diaspora. This portrait, along with countless others, serves as a reminder of the important role that photography played in documenting the lives and experiences of African Americans during the 19th century and beyond.
