Lot Description

[RECONSTRUCTION]. Radical Members of the So. Ca. Legislature. [J.G. Gibbes]: [Columbia, SC], [1868].


6 7/16 x 8 3/4 in. composite photograph on cardstock mount (fading, light chipping to edges, lower title partially obliterated). Verso includes a partial clipping titled "Jury of Negroes and Whites" from The Sun (Baltimore, circa 1905). The article concerns the growing public interest in Reconstruction, in part due to The Clansmen by Thomas Dixon, Jr. A group image of the petit jury impaneled to try Jefferson Davis for treason, composed of Black and white men is reproduced. 

A composite image featuring portraits of the Black and white members of the radical Republicans in the early-Reconstruction era South Carolina legislature.
