EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Skivring Smith, an influential figure in Liberian history. Born in America, Smith became a prominent Liberian colonist and served as the President of Liberia from 1871 to 1872. The daguerreotype was captured by Augustus Washington around 1858. In this portrait, we see Smith seated at a table, engrossed in his writing. His distinguished presence is highlighted by his well-groomed beard and dignified attire. The mid-19th century daguerreotype technique adds depth and texture to the image, capturing every intricate detail. Smith's significance lies not only in his role as president but also as one of the first African American settlers who sought refuge and freedom in Liberia. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to the determination and resilience of African Americans during that era. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artifact with utmost care, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of individuals who have shaped our world through their courage and leadership.
