EDITORS COMMENTS
This carte de visite photograph, titled "Unidentified young woman wearing gloves, leaning on prop fence, c1880," is an intriguing glimpse into the past, captured by the skilled lens of H. A. Insley. The image, which dates back to the late 19th century, depicts a young African American woman dressed in formal attire, wearing a long, flowing dress and a pair of gloves. She leans casually on a prop fence, her direct gaze fixed on the camera, exuding an air of confidence and self-assurance. The photograph was taken in the United States, likely in New York or the surrounding areas, such as Rockland County in New York State. The woman's fashionable clothing and the use of a prop fence suggest that this may have been a portrait taken for personal keepsakes or to commemorate a special occasion. Despite the woman's striking presence, her identity remains a mystery. This adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, allowing viewers to imagine her story and the circumstances that led her to be captured on film over a century ago. The photograph is part of the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a valuable addition to the heritage of African American and American history, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the rich and diverse cultural heritage of the United States.
