When Crabbing's Good, 1899
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative photograph by Jay Campbell Phillips, showcasing the simple joys of rural life during the late 19th century in America. The image depicts a group of African American boys and girls, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered at the edge of a tranquil riverbank. They are intently focused on their crabbing endeavors, using fishing nets and deftly maneuvering their bait into the water. The scene exudes a sense of nostalgia and innocence, as the children engage in a cherished pastime that connects them to their natural environment. The boys, with their serious expressions, and the girls, with their playful grins, embody the spirit of childhood and the camaraderie that comes with shared experiences. This photograph, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of African American life in rural America during the late 1800s. The rustic setting, with its lush foliage and clear, sunlit water, serves as a backdrop to the daily life of these children, who are immersed in the simple pleasures of crabbing. Phillips, a skilled photographer, expertly captures the essence of this moment in time, using the halftone process to create a detailed and textured image that invites the viewer to step back in time and experience the charm and beauty of a bygone era. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, regionalism, or African American heritage art, and serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between people and the natural world.
