EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a powerful and poignant moment frozen in time. Taken in 1886 by George Barker, an American photographer known for his exceptional talent, it portrays a black family standing proudly in front of their house. The image exudes strength, resilience, and unity. In this portrait, the family emanates a sense of pride that is palpable. Their expressions are filled with determination and hope for a better future. Each member stands tall and confident, symbolizing their unwavering spirit despite facing adversity during this era. The composition is beautifully captured using albumen silver print technique which adds depth and richness to the photograph. The details are exquisite - from the intricate textures of their clothing to the architectural features of their home. This image serves as a reminder of both the struggles faced by black families during this period in history and their unyielding perseverance against all odds. It encapsulates not only personal triumph but also represents collective progress towards equality. As we reflect upon this remarkable piece from George Barker's portfolio, let us honor the legacy of those who paved the way for social change while acknowledging that there is still work to be done today.
