EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant artifact from the studio of H. C. Anderson, dating back to the 1950s-1970s. The featured object is none other than an Agfa light meter, encased in cream plastic and attached to a vibrant green cord. Reverend Henry Clay Anderson, an esteemed African-American pastor, teacher, veteran, and photographer renowned for his documentation of Greenville's black middle class between 1948 and 1986, owned this remarkable piece. The light meter symbolizes both technological advancement and artistic skill within the context of Anderson's photography career. Its presence highlights the importance of accurate exposure in capturing moments that reflect the lives and experiences of African-Americans during this transformative period in American history. As we delve into this image from our nation's past at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), we are reminded not only of Reverend Henry Clay Anderson's contributions but also how objects like these hold cultural heritage within their very essence. This particular Agfa light meter serves as a testament to innovation while embodying its own historical significance. Through this photograph by Agfa Gevaert NV - not associated with any commercial use - viewers can appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such tools as well as gain insight into Reverend Anderson's dedication to preserving black history through his lens.
