| Item Description: | Detached from: The illustrated London news, Feb. 16, 1861, page 138. To accompany an article: Slave auctions in Richmond, Virginia, by G.H. Andrews, pages 138-140. The enslaved man is well-groomed, well-dressed, and smiling. He doesn't seem to mind at all that he is being inspected like a horse. The scene around him, meanwhile, is quite orderly and civilized, with the reading of New York newspapers. |
