STOCKS, 1886 - A Glimpse into the Lives of African American Brothers in Late 19th Century America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from 1886 offers a poignant snapshot of two brothers during a time of great social and racial tension. The image showcases an African American man standing alongside his younger brother, both confined within the restrictive embrace of colonial-era stocks. Their faces reveal a mix of resilience and determination despite their predicament. The artist's skillful use of lines and shading brings to life the somber atmosphere surrounding these men. The exterior setting hints at an oppressive society that sought to confine individuals based on their race. Yet, amidst this confinement, there is also hope symbolized by a loyal dog sitting nearby - perhaps representing unwavering companionship or even liberation. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by marginalized communities throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon the injustices endured by African Americans during this era while acknowledging their strength in persevering through adversity. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical artwork with utmost respect for its significance and cultural value. Through such prints, we gain insight into our collective past and are encouraged to foster empathy and understanding in our present-day society.
