EDITORS COMMENTS
In the Time of Water Melon," a captivating photograph by Jay Campbell Phillips captured in 1899, offers a glimpse into the daily life and simple joys of African American children during the late 19th century. The image, now held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, showcases a group of boys and girls, barefoot and dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around a fence, relishing the sweet taste of watermelon. The children's expressions of pure enjoyment and contentment are palpable, as they savor the juicy fruit with abandon. The rustic setting of the photograph, with its wooden fence and lush greenery, further emphasizes the rural and idyllic nature of the scene. The use of halftone photomechanical prints adds depth and texture to the image, capturing the intricacies of the children's clothing and the rich colors of the watermelon. Phillips, a prolific photographer known for his documentation of African American life, expertly captures the essence of childhood and the communal experience of sharing a beloved treat. The image serves as an important reminder of the heritage and history of African American communities in the United States during this time period. The photograph, titled "In the Time of Water Melon," is a testament to the enduring power of simple pleasures and the importance of preserving the past for future generations. It invites us to reflect on the experiences of these children, who, despite the challenges and hardships of their time, were able to find joy and happiness in the simple act of sharing a watermelon.
