EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in North Carolina's history, showcasing the laborious process of cotton picking in the late 19th century. Taken around 1885, this image portrays an unidentified African American man standing amidst a vast cotton field, diligently working to harvest the valuable crop. The portrait highlights the resilience and strength of this worker as he carefully picks cotton bolls and fills his basket. His profile is etched against the backdrop of an expansive Southeastern landscape, emphasizing both his individuality and connection to nature. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the arduous conditions faced by those involved in cotton production during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder of North Carolina's agricultural heritage and its reliance on enslaved individuals' forced labor. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on our nation's complex history while honoring the contributions made by African Americans like this unnamed worker. It stands as a testament to their enduring spirit and unwavering commitment despite facing immense challenges.
