C.H. Graves
1901 (ca)
A darktown wedding, the ceremony

Stereoview
Library Company of Philadelphia
Accession number: P.9922
 
Scene of the nuptials of a young African American couple officiated by a white-haired African American gentleman, and witnessed by six African American attendants. The shy bride wears a simple white dress and veil, the groom a large flower at his lapel. The wedding party stands in front of a dilapidated wall, sparsely decorated with placards inscribed with religious proverbs. One of the male attendants alters a placard changing "me" to "us," inverting the "s."
