EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print captures a significant moment in the Boyd family's history, dating back to the late 19th century. The image showcases three distinguished members of the family, including Edgar Leroy Boyd and his esteemed grandfather, Alfred Boyd Sr. Dressed impeccably in suits, these men exude an air of elegance and refinement. The composition portrays two of the gentlemen standing tall while one comfortably sits on a chair, creating a dynamic balance within the frame. Their expressions are serious yet dignified, hinting at their strong character and resilience amidst challenging times. As African Americans living in America during this era, their presence in this photograph is not only a testament to their individual identities but also represents an important chapter in black history. This remarkable piece serves as a visual reminder of heritage and cultural legacy. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this albumen print holds immense historical value. Its black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to its narrative. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary men who have left an indelible mark on our collective memory. Displayed proudly within NMAAHC's collection, this portrait stands as both artistry and documentation—an embodiment of personal stories that contribute to our understanding of African American heritage in the United States during that period.
