Yeah, really curious what the cost of something like this was at the time.
是啊,挺好奇在那时候搞这么个玩意儿得花多少钱。

Considering how much professional photos cost even today when the tech is available to literally anyone, it probably wasn't cheap.
考虑到即使在科技普及到人人都能拍照的今天,找专业摄影师拍组照片都不便宜,当年那价格估计肯定不低。

Probably did. At least as well as a black person would have in that timeframe. He's well-groomed, has hands that haven't been worked hard, wears well-fitting shoes and clothes. His parents were likely very well-off.
There actually was a fairly thriving Black Middle Class in the 1920s concentrated in certain urban areas. DC, Harlem etc. It's quite probable that he was part of that.
I've heard stories about the beautiful communities that were sadly often destroyed when the interstate/highway systems came through
我听说过不少关于那些美丽社区的故事,可惜它们后来常常因为洲际公路系统的修建而被毁掉了。

Or angry mobs of white people… or the government just ran through it.
要么是白人暴徒搞的鬼……要么就是政府直接给强拆了。

> has hands that haven't been worked hard You can’t even see the side of his hands that would show he’s been worked hard lol
> 手上没干过重活
连他手上本该显出干过重活的那一面都看不出来,笑死。

If you think only the bottom of your hands show work... all that shows is you must have a privileged life free of labour. Top of my hands are scarred and laboured and I doubt I've worked as much as any slave. No idea if this guy was a slave or if he had to work his life, but all I do know..is you can't just look at his hands and say he isn't worked.
Slavery was definitely illegal by 1920 lmao. By over 50 years, too.
到1920年奴隶制绝对是非法的了,笑死。而且都过去五十多年了。

In a technical sense sure but look up how a lot of mining towns operated and I'd be hard-pressed to call that anything but slavery. [This song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTCen9-RELM) was written about towns like that where the company would move you away from home and put you in their own company-owned town. Then they'd charge you ridiculous prices for basic necessities, where you'd have to put yourself in debt just to not starve, then put you in an endless cycle of debt so you'd work for them until you died.
I was thinking he must be from a higher class family with how fancy his leg was. I'm smrt
我还琢磨着看他那腿多精致,家里肯定出身不凡。我可真是个天才(smrt)。

He very well may have lived a beautiful and fruitful life, even though it was almost certainly filled with horrible racism directed against him.
他很有可能过上了精彩且充实的一生,尽管他的人生几乎肯定充满了针对他的、令人发指的种族歧视。

Not necessarily. He looks healthy and well dressed here. It's not like every black person in history had a depressing, miserable, existence.
未必吧。照片里他看起来气色很好,穿得也体面。并不是说历史上每个黑人都过着那种丧到家、惨兮兮的生活。

When I see old photos like this, I always wonder what became of the person. Was this boy treated well and did he have a good life? Guess we'll never know.
Great photo, but boy do a lot of old fabrics look like they itched.
照片很棒,但说真的,好多旧布料看起来穿在身上都扎得慌。

My phone’s brightness was low when I first saw this and it looked like an awesome peg leg. Anyway after a few minutes and getting my wife I realized this dapper gentleman does, in fact, have 2 legs.
Anytime I see kids in the 1920s all I think is they probably got drafted in the war. Hope he did alright.
每次看到20年代的孩子们,我脑子里想的都是他们后来大概都被征兵上战场了。希望他当时一切都好。

That's cool that you have a glass neg collection. Do you have a tumblr or instagram of them? I actually took a class, many years ago, on 19th century photo processes. Glass negs were the most difficult thing I've ever created, shot and processed in all my years as a photographer. But their look is amazing, nothing quite like them.
Amazing photo. Makes you feel like you could step into it. That chair leg is like 3D. Really shows what we sacrificed for color and convenience through time.
