EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Bust of James Peck Thomas" sculpted by Mary Edmonia Lewis in 1874. Crafted from marble, this stunning piece resides in the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, Ohio, USA. The bust portrays a distinguished African American man with a meticulously groomed moustache and an air of elegance. His formal attire includes a waistcoat and tie, adding to his refined appearance. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of this remarkable sculpture. James Peck Thomas himself was an accomplished male figure who played a significant role within the art world during his time. As an African American artist, he defied societal expectations and made invaluable contributions to the field of portraiture. Lewis, also an African American sculptress, skillfully captured Thomas' essence through her artistry. Her talent shines through as she expertly molds the marble into a lifelike representation of her subject. This photograph immortalizes both Lewis' artistic prowess and Thomas' legacy as it beautifully captures their collaboration. It serves as a reminder that great art knows no boundaries or limitations – it transcends race and time. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within fine art but also of the resilience and creativity that can emerge from marginalized communities throughout history.
