EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston between 1930 and 1939, presents an intriguing scene of a three-story wooden tavern located on Brook Road in Richmond, Virginia. The tavern, with its distinctive chimneys and groceries sign bearing the name R.L. Hilliard, stands as a testament to the rich history of this region in the United States. Twelve African American children, dressed in simple yet stylish attire, are arranged in a neat row in front of the building. Their innocent faces, filled with curiosity and wonder, capture the essence of childhood and the innocence of a bygone era. The children's presence adds a human touch to the image, making it a poignant reminder of the daily life in this community during the 1930s. The photograph, taken from a distance, provides a clear view of the tavern's facade, with its weathered wood and aged lanterns. The building's architectural details, such as the intricate trim around the windows and the ornate chimneys, are beautifully preserved, showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. This image, taken from the Library of Congress' collection of Frances Benjamin Johnston's lantern slides from 1930 to 1940, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable record of the architectural and social history of Richmond, Virginia, during the 20th century. The photograph's timeless quality and the children's enduring expressions make it a captivating piece of American heritage art.
