Edmonia Lewis! The First American Woman Sculptor of Color

[@kathy768]

I purchased some US postal stamps with a portrait of Edmonia Lewis. Your post is so helpful in understanding her complex life and work. I’m glad I found it. Thank you.

Her work is really well crafted. She is one of probably hundreds of notable black women that no one was ever taught about in school. Thank you!

Amazing material and production. Just loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Love this! Thank you!

Ms. Lewis' works are gorgeously rendered in delightful detail. I purchased the new 58-cent stamp honoring her yesterday. I'm now doing some research on USPS' newest Black Heritage honoree - considering it no longer provides narrative info on its subjects on the back of its stamp sheets...

"Marmorean" means like marble or alabaster. Doesn't necessarily refer to the way they looked; it may have meant they had an eternal quality, toughness, or that they endured like the classical art they practiced.
