EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Typical Family Group," dates back to the 1910s and offers a glimpse into the lives of African American families during that era. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of a loving family unit consisting of a husband, wife, and their young daughter. The family is dressed in formal attire, with the father wearing a suit and tie, the mother in a beautiful, high-collared dress, and their daughter in a frilly, white dress with a bow in her hair. The family gazes directly at the camera with warm expressions, inviting the viewer into their world. The setting is likely in the United States, possibly in the countryside, based on the rural background and the family's casual demeanor. The photograph is a testament to the enduring bonds of marriage and parenthood, as the parents look proudly at their daughter. This photograph is a valuable addition to the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and history of African American families in the United States during the early 20th century. The image is a powerful representation of the human experience, showcasing the universal themes of love, family, and the passage of time.
