ELLIS ISLAND: WOMAN, 1911. A captivating portrait of a Guadeloupean woman at Ellis Island, captured by the talented photographer Augustus Sherman in 1911. This photograph beautifully showcases the early immigration era, where individuals from all corners of the world sought refuge and opportunity in America's northeast. The woman's striking profile is adorned with a traditional headwrap and shawl, reflecting her Caribbean heritage. Her expression carries both strength and vulnerability, embodying the hopes and dreams that brought countless immigrants to Ellis Island during this time. Augustus Sherman's skillful use of sepia tones adds depth to this timeless image, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone.
