This photograph was taken in 1897 or 1898, possibly as part of a planned promotion for the upcoming release of Charles Chesnutt's first books which were published in 1899. Also notable, the photograph was taken by his younger brothers, Lewis and Andrew Chesnutt, who, for many years, owned and operated a photography studio in Cleveland. | Date: 1899 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Collections related to Charles W.
