EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Edward Wilmot Blyden, a prominent figure in Liberian history. Born in the West Indies, Blyden was not only a writer but also an educator, politician, and diplomat. His influential role as a proponent of Pan-Africanism is evident through his intellectual gaze and dignified presence. Taken around 1880, this late portrait showcases Blyden's impeccable style. He dons a bow tie with utmost sophistication while wearing a vest that adds to his distinguished appearance. The lapel on his suit jacket hints at his involvement in politics and diplomacy during this time. Blyden's commitment to Christianity is reflected in this image as well. As an advocate for religious unity among Africans, he served as both preacher and minister within the Presbyterian Church. This photograph beautifully captures the depth of his faith and its influence on his life's work. It is worth noting that Blyden hailed from the US Virgin Islands before making Liberia his home later in life. This background undoubtedly shaped him into becoming one of Liberia's most revered nationalists. As we admire this remarkable print by Granger Art on Demand, let us remember Edward Wilmot Blyden for his immense contributions to African intellectual thought and advocacy for Pan-African unity during an era marked by significant social change.
