Edward Hopper

(Study of a Wedding Procession in the Street)
c. 1900

A historical illustration depicting a group of African American people in formal attire, with men wearing suits and top hats and women in dresses and hats, some carrying bouquets. They are standing in a line, facing left, with a backdrop of buildings labeled "Delmonico" and "Schultz Schwartz." The style suggests a commentary on social issues of the era, and the image includes caricatured features typical of the time's racial stereotypes.
