EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts Dr. J.E.W. Thompson, a prominent African American figure and Permanent Chairman of an unspecified organization or committee in the year 1892. The image, created by an unknown artist, showcases Dr. Thompson in a formal attire, donning a distinguished beard and moustache. His piercing gaze is directed away from the viewer, suggesting deep thought or introspection. Dr. Thompson's professional title as a physician is hinted at by the stethoscope around his neck, further emphasizing his multifaceted role as both a medical doctor and a political activist. The black and white engraving, reminiscent of the era's illustrative style, is a testament to the rich heritage of African American history. The image is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division of the New York Public Library's Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Dr. Thompson's occupation as a diplomat or commissary is suggested by his formal attire and the title of 'Chairman.' The print, titled 'Dr. J.E.W. Thompson, Permanent Chairman, 1892,' is a valuable addition to the New Rochelle Pioneer Print collection at the New York Public Library. Despite the lack of information regarding the specific context of this image, it serves as a powerful reminder of the important roles African Americans played in various aspects of American society during the 19th century. The print invites us to reflect on the complexities of Dr. Thompson's life and the impact he may have had on his community and beyond.
