This photograph, titled "The Old Dominion Colored Vocalists with the Gotthold Octoroon Combination," dates back to approximately 1879. The image showcases an ensemble of African American vocalists, proudly posing with their European-American counterpart, Gotthold, and his Octoroon Combination. The term "octoroon" refers to an individual who is one-eighth African descent. The Old Dominion Colored Vocalists, a group of talented African American musicians, are dressed in elegant Victorian attire, exuding confidence and joy. Their harmonious expressions suggest the richness of their vocal abilities and the unity of their group. The inclusion of Gotthold and his Octoroon Combination adds an intriguing layer to the photograph, highlighting the complexities of racial dynamics during this era. The photograph is a testament to the rich musical heritage of the late 19th century, a time when African American musicians were making significant strides in the entertainment industry. The Old Dominion Colored Vocalists' collaboration with Gotthold and his Octoroon Combination represents a unique blending of cultures and musical traditions. The intricate details of the poster, from the ornate border to the individual expressions of each performer, demonstrate the high-quality production values of the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the social and cultural landscape of the late 1800s and the evolving role of African American musicians in American society.
