EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Jan E. Matzeliger, an African American inventor who made significant contributions to the world of shoemaking in the late 19th century. Born in Dutch Guiana (now Suriname), Matzeliger's innovative mind and determination led him to revolutionize the industry. The oil over a photograph technique used in this print adds depth and texture, bringing out every detail of Matzeliger's portrait. The artist skillfully captures his strong features and determined expression, reflecting his unwavering commitment to his craft. Matzeliger's invention, known as the lasting machine, automated a crucial step in shoe production that was previously done by hand. This groundbreaking device greatly increased efficiency and reduced costs, making shoes more affordable for people from all walks of life. Despite facing numerous challenges as an African American inventor during a time when racial discrimination was rampant, Matzeliger persevered and left an indelible mark on history. His ingenuity paved the way for future advancements in manufacturing processes that continue to shape industries today. This print serves as a powerful reminder of not only Matzeliger's accomplishments but also the resilience and brilliance of individuals who overcome adversity to make lasting contributions to society. It is a tribute to one man's extraordinary journey towards innovation and progress.
