A stereograph titled " Bob and His Fiddle" printed and photographed by O. Pierre Havens of Savannah, Georgia. The albumen prints depict an African-American boy holding a homemade fiddle while seated outside a small log dwelling. He wears a white shirt, dark vest, dark pants, and no shoes. His hat is lying on the ground by his left foot.

Bob and His Fiddle, 1876-1888 - A Glimpse into African-American Musical Heritage

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Bob and His Fiddle" offers a poignant snapshot of African-American life in the late 19th century. Taken by O. Pierre Havens, a skilled photographer from Savannah, Georgia, this stereograph captures the essence of an era long gone. In the image, we see a young African-American boy seated outside his humble log dwelling. Clad in a white shirt, dark vest, pants with no shoes, he holds his homemade fiddle with pride. With intense focus and determination etched on his face, he delicately balances the instrument on his shoulder while holding a makeshift bow made from string and a bent stick. The simplicity of this scene speaks volumes about the resilience and creativity within marginalized communities during that time period. Through music and self-expression found in playing the fiddle – an instrument often associated with folk traditions – Bob showcases both talent and resourcefulness. Printed on card stock with vibrant orange recto and light pink verso backgrounds, Havens' attention to detail is evident even beyond capturing this heartfelt moment. On the backside of these prints lies black text boasting Havens' credentials as both photographer and publisher of Southern views - emphasizing his dedication to preserving visual records of American history. As we gaze upon "Bob and His Fiddle" we are reminded not only of individual stories but also how art can transcend time to preserve cultural heritage for generations to come.
