EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Team of Mr. Madock: Has Business at Harvey, Ill. 1907," showcases an enigmatic African American businessman, Mr. Madock, standing confidently with a pair of horses in front of a building identified as Atwell Printing and Binding Co. in Harvey, Cook County, Illinois, United States. The image, taken in the early 1900s, is a testament to the rich heritage of African American entrepreneurship during that era. Mr. Madock, dressed in a well-tailored suit and hat, gazes directly at the camera with an air of authority and determination. The horses, possibly used for transportation or perhaps part of the business, add an intriguing element to the scene. The black-and-white image, with its high contrast and sharp details, exudes a timeless quality that transports us back to a bygone era. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. It offers a glimpse into the lives of African Americans during the 20th century, a period marked by significant social, political, and economic changes. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of African Americans, who, despite facing numerous challenges, continued to build businesses and contribute to the economic fabric of their communities. The Atwell Printing and Binding Co. building, a silent witness to this moment in history, stands as a symbol of the importance of preserving our collective past. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
