EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Calling on Mifs Dinah" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Philadelphia in the 19th century. Created by Edward W. Clay, this plate number 11 of a series of 20 captures the essence of Life in Philadelphia with its satirical and humorous depiction. In this scene, we witness an intriguing social encounter as an African American woman named Mifs Dinah receives a visit from her acquaintances. The artist, Charles Hunt, skillfully adapts Clay's original work to showcase the grace and charm that these African Americans possess amidst societal expectations. Through clever wit and playful satire, Clay sheds light on the complexities of etiquette during that time period. This print offers a glimpse into the daily lives and interactions within North America's bustling cityscape. As we delve into this artwork, it becomes evident that humor is used as a tool to challenge societal norms while celebrating African American culture simultaneously. It serves as a reminder that even in times when certain communities faced discrimination, they still found ways to navigate through life with dignity and grace. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images not only showcases artistic talent but also invites viewers to reflect upon historical contexts surrounding race relations in America.
