EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Bakelite comb from the mid-20th century, once owned by the legendary Lena Horne. Created by Agalin, this orange semi-translucent comb exudes elegance and sophistication. Its art deco style is beautifully highlighted with black and gold embellishments along the spine, adding an exquisite touch to its overall design. The comb itself features two distinct ends: one end boasts smaller teeth closely spaced together, while the opposite end offers larger teeth that are more widely spaced. This unique combination allows for versatile styling options, catering to different hair types and preferences. Lena Horne, an extraordinary African-American dancer, actress, singer, and civil rights activist (1917-2010), cherished this beautiful piece as part of her dresser set. Her influential contributions in various fields have left an indelible mark on American history. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this bakelite comb stands as a testament to Lena Horne's cultural heritage and artistic legacy. It serves as a reminder of her significant role in shaping not only entertainment but also social progress in America. As we admire this stunning object captured through Agalin's lens, we are reminded of our rich history and the importance of preserving such artifacts for educational purposes. The Smithsonian Institution proudly houses this precious item within its scientific institution dedicated to promoting knowledge about our nation's diverse past - ensuring that future generations can appreciate Lena Horne's impact on American society.
