Abstract: “A picture is worth a thousand words” is the perfect idiom for a book that so effectively conveys the power and intimacy that can be captured by portrait photography. Before the reader even opens the book, Where We Find Ourselves: The Photographs of Hugh Mangum, 1897-1922, they will notice the striking image of a young African American woman on the cover. Her eyes are compelling, and they beckon you to look inside where you will discover a striking collection of portraits created from Mangum’s original multiple-image glass plate negatives. His subjects’ gazes give silent testimony to life in Post-Reconstruction North Carolina and Virginia.
