Lot Description
[EARLY PHOTOGRAPHY] -- [RELIGION]. The Daughters of Jerusalem, Noah's Ark Store, All Welcome. Philadelphia, PA: The P.J. Press Bureau, ca 1900.
5 1/2 x 7 in. silver gelatin photograph (some edge/corner wear to print, minor residue on verso). Photographer's ink stamp and notations on verso. An African American woman is shown standing in the doorway of what is likely a street-front church. Three young children in their Sunday best look on. Possibly taken in Philadelphia based on studio credit. The "Daughters of Jerusalem" may have been affiliated with the Church of God and Saints of Christ as part of the Black Hebrew Israelites.
