This hand-colored photographic enlargement captures a bust of a man wearing a hat and suit. The unidentified Black man faces the camera and looks slightly above and to the right. He is wearing a bowler hat at a tilted angle and does not seem to have long hair underneath. His shaven face is neutral, typical for long exposure times. Underneath his dark suit jacket, he wears a white collared shirt and a dark tie with a thin diagonal stripe pattern. The background behind him has a focused, inverted triangle of light blue behind his head that spreads slightly to his shoulders and the rest of the background is a soft black color. Handwritten notes on the verso describe the color to use in hand-coloring. There are no indications as to whether the sitter had input in the color choices or not.
Metadata for this photograph was created by students as part of the course Curating Hidden Collections & the Black Archive in Spring 2021. Further information about their work can be found in the companion website: http://sites.udel.edu/baltimorecollection/.
