Another Flickr member pointed to this article, which explains the background on some of the cartes de visite of formerly enslaved children: www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2012/12/10/166093470/a-b.... An intern who has been working with us this spring became intrigued by the images and will be presenting about them on Monday, May 24, 2021 at 2 pm EDT (Zoom registration link: here). We'll be publishing her blog post about them later in the week on our blog, Picture This .
