Amazing (and creepy by just the way it's worded) to realize how it was back then.

Hi, we are a group dedicated to photos of typo/graphic posters and it would be a pleasure to have this photo in our showcase: typo/graphic posters
Alli Tray said:
Wow I really hope this young woman was able to remain free, even if she had to hide!

"...so I got her again..." I agree with Manny

Vincent DiPietro said:
It was very rare that slave children dressed this way. Mostly they went about in rags and no shoes. This may have been a propaganda post card attempting to show how well slaves were cared for when they definately were not.
Lauren said:
Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historic Heroines, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
Lauren said:
These children were probably dressed up nicely like this to create a heart-tugging image for northerners, thereby helping the abolitionist cause. Like a picture of a baby harp seal being used to represent all marine life, this is most likely a positive-propaganda image meant to arouse sympathy for those in slavery.

A fitting reminder of how things were...I just saw the Victory in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard at the weekend - a contemporary to this ship and those times
John Hughes said:
Astonishing photo!
Adrian Midgley said:
HMS Victory is not _exactly_ contemporary with this...
John Hughes said:
HMS Victory retired to harbour 1824. HMS Daphne launched 1838.
