EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished visage of Professor T.W. Johnson, an African-American academic from Cincinnati, Ohio, taken in the year 1888. The image, now a part of the vast collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a rare glimpse into the cultural heritage of the late 19th century. Professor Johnson's formal attire, complete with a crisp shirt, vest, and tie, speaks to his professional stature as an educator. His moustache, a common style during this era, adds an air of sophistication to his appearance. The backdrop of the image, adorned with books and academic paraphernalia, further emphasizes his role as a scholar and teacher. The photograph was likely taken to commemorate the Centennial Jubilee of Freedom at Columbus, Ohio, an event that celebrated the emancipation of slaves in the United States. It is a poignant reminder of the significant strides made by African Americans in education during this time, despite facing numerous challenges and barriers. The unknown photographer's skillful composition and lighting techniques bring Professor Johnson's personality to life, making this print a valuable addition to any collection focused on African American history, academic achievements, or cultural heritage in America during the 19th century.
