A True Likeness The Black South of Richard Samuel Roberts, 1920-1936
Edited by Philip Dunn and Thomas L. Johnson
For almost half a century, its existence all but forgotten, a treasure trove of photographic negatives lay in the crawlspace under a house at 1717 Wayne Street in Columbia, S.C.
Richard Samuel Roberts, a black photographer, had operated a com- mercial studio in Columbia from 1920 until his death in 1936. When his studio was closed down shortly afterward, his negatives were stored under the family home. Not until 1977 did a chance visit by the field archival program of the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina reveal the fact that Roberts's negatives still existed.
Almost miraculously, most were still in good condition. In their scope and camera artistry they constitute an amazing pictorial record, documen- ting the life and times of an entire segment of Southern society, the black inhabitants of a Southern city from just after the First World War until well into the Great Depression of the 1930s. In them are captured the faces and the life of the black community of Columbia as seen by a skilled pictorial artist, a master of the uses of light and shadow for purposes of photo- graphic composition. Especially noteworthy is Roberts' depiction of the black middle-class community. Many persons unfamiliar with the South of the 1920s and 1930s are unaware that there was a flourishing black middle class in the Southern cities. Here, captured by Roberts' camera artistry, is ample evidence of its existence.
A True Likeness is at once a historical record of unique value and a striking demonstration of the art of the camera as practiced by a master craftsman. It is a book to be admired and enjoyed for years to come. Co-published by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill and Bruccoli/Clark.
