EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BLACK BARBER, 1861" takes us back to a significant period in American history. The wood engraving, created in 1861 by Eyre Crowe, portrays an African American barber at work in his shop. The artist himself had served as William M. Thackeray's secretary during the writer's tour of America between 1852 and 1853. The image showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Crowe brings to his artistry. The black barber is depicted wearing a top hat, symbolizing his professionalism and status within society. As he skillfully wields a razor, we can sense the trust placed upon him by his clients who seek both grooming and conversation. In this scene set against the backdrop of Richmond, Virginia - a city deeply entrenched in antebellum culture - we witness not only craftsmanship but also liberation. This freedman has found independence through his trade despite living amidst challenging times for African Americans. The middle-aged man seems engrossed in reading a newspaper while attending to his customer's needs. His cozy barbershop is warmed by a heater nearby, creating an inviting atmosphere for men seeking respite from their daily lives. Through this remarkable wood engraving from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported into an era where skilled workers like this black barber played integral roles within their communities – providing more than just haircuts but also companionship and news updates that connected people together during tumultuous times.
