Historical Engraving of African American Woman in 19th-Century Attire #3639933 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white wood engraving shows a Black woman seated on a gnarled log, dressed in modest yet detailed 19th-century attire-including a patterned bodice, full skirt, and head covering. Her expression is calm and composed, and she holds a slender rod or staff across her lap, suggesting labor, travel, or symbolic authority. The background features subtle landscape elements and textured linework typical of mid-1800s print illustration.

Often used in educational resources, museum archives, or digital exhibits on African American history, slavery, Reconstruction, or 19th-century visual culture; serves users researching historical representation, abolitionist imagery, or material culture.
