EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage camera from the studio of H. C. Anderson, dating back to the 1960s. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, but their craftsmanship is evident in every detail. The NOBA 4x5 camera stands proudly on a wooden frame with elegant brass fixtures and striking red bellows. What makes this camera even more intriguing are the orange and white stickers adorning its surface, proudly declaring "NOBA / Hecho en Mexico". These stickers hint at an interesting cultural connection between Reverend Henry Clay Anderson's work and Mexican craftsmanship. Reverend Henry Clay Anderson was not only an African-American pastor, teacher, veteran but also an accomplished photographer who dedicated his lens to capturing the lives of Greenville's black middle class from 1948 to 1986. His photographs became windows into a vibrant community that often went unseen by mainstream society. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but appreciate the rich heritage it represents - both in terms of African-American history and technological advancements in photography during the mid-20th century. It serves as a reminder of Reverend Anderson's significant contributions to documenting American culture through his lens.
