EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Blue Triangle Chef C.P. Harris," showcases an African American cook named C.P. Harris, working in a kitchen between 1910 and 1920. The image, created by the renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of an African American cook during this era. Harris, dressed in a simple yet functional apron, concentrates on the task at hand, skillfully holding a frying pan over a gas cooker. The kitchen is filled with various cooking pots and pans, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. A glass cooking pot sits on the stove, while a wooden cutting board and other kitchen utensils are nearby, indicating a busy and productive work environment. The cook wears a hat and a collared shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, revealing forearms calloused from years of cooking. The image exudes a sense of pride and dedication to the craft, as Harris masterfully navigates the kitchen, preparing a meal for his family or employers. This photograph, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the important role African American cooks played in American households during the early 20th century. The image is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on African American history, domestic life, and the evolution of cooking and household appliances.
