Martinique Women c1890
Toronto. Almost missed Black History Month (February). Mea Culpa. The AGO has a self-guided tour called Discovering Blackness in and out of the vault. The self-tour begins tonight from 5 to 9 pm.
Typical of the photographs, is the one at the left of this post. The cut-line reads, “Unknown, Martinique Woman, c.1890. Albumen print, 15 x 11cm. Montgomery Collection of Caribbean Photographs.
