EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the turn of the century in Richmond, Virginia. Standing proudly amidst a bustling cityscape is E. J. Crane's jewelry store and watchmaking workshop – a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit of African Americans during this era. The storefront window showcases an array of exquisite timepieces and dazzling jewelry pieces that undoubtedly caught the attention of passersby on Southeast Street. The sign above reads "RICHMOND: JEWELER" boldly announcing Crane's presence as a skilled craftsman within the community. In this late 19th-century scene, we witness two men engrossed in their work inside the shop. One can only imagine the meticulous precision required for such delicate craftsmanship as they repair intricate clocks or create custom-made pieces for discerning customers. Crane's establishment stands as a symbol of resilience and determination against societal barriers faced by African Americans at that time. It serves as a reminder that talent knows no boundaries when it comes to pursuing one's passion and making valuable contributions to society. Thanks to Granger Art on Demand, we are granted access to this remarkable piece of history captured through photography over a century ago – allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance in celebrating diversity and achievement within our shared past.
