Black man with white child and dog
This aptly called, "Black man with white child and dog" ca. 1890 from George Eastman House Collection. The picture intrigues me, what an odd combination. The dog in this picture is way bigger than the child. The black man is very well dressed, the child seems comfortable with him, what can the story behind this picture be? Care to take any guesses??

I suspect the dog was brown or had dark red curly hair. A contrast in shades perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYes, an intriguing portrait. My guess is that he's a servant of some sort, but who knows.
ReplyDeleteYes,They Are Both Her Servants Me Thinks.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing indeed. Perhaps there is no link at all and it’s just the photographer’s whim.
ReplyDeleteIt's an intriguing photo, but I don't know what the story could be.
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo! My first thought - and way out in left field - is that the child has an ailment and the man is in charge of making sure the child is safe. But, the child looks healthy and content as do the man and the dog - perhaps it's just a photo of two beings that the child loves. Or the man loves. or the dog loves.
ReplyDeleteThey both have the same expression - man and child.
ReplyDeleteAnother candidate for the "picture in search of a story" contest. The photographer was proud of this one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful and interesting photo, but I wouldn't have a guess as to what the story is.
ReplyDeleteInteresting photo, I've not seen another like it.
