OriginalShirley Graham Du Bois
Reason
A version of this image has been stable in her article for years; I tracked down a better copy. It's a nice image for historical photography. I know that Van Vechten's way of composing his photos can range from beloved to hated on here depending on photo, but this seems a simple, well-executed profile photo with a confident expression, and I think it's lovely. Good companion photo to the one of her husband.
