EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Monday Melungeon Woman, North Carolina" was taken by the talented American photographer Doris Ulmann around 1929. The platinum print measures 20.1 x 15.4 cm (7 15/16 x 6 1/16 in. ) and showcases Ulmann's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of her subjects. In this particular image, we see a woman named Monday, believed to be of Melungeon descent, hailing from the beautiful state of North Carolina. The term "Melungeon" refers to a group of mixed-race people who settled in Appalachia during the colonial era. Through her lens, Ulmann manages to convey both strength and vulnerability within Monday's gaze. Doris Ulmann was renowned for her portraits that celebrated individuals from various walks of life, often focusing on marginalized communities such as African Americans and Appalachian residents. Her work aimed to challenge societal norms and shed light on the diversity that exists within America. This platinum print is not only a testament to Ulmann's technical mastery but also serves as an important historical document that preserves the stories and identities of those who may have otherwise been forgotten or overlooked.
