The photo is notable as it shows the issue of slavery was not merely an issue of color. If a child's mother was a slave, then he or she was as well, as is the case in the photo. The photograph measures approximately 2.5 x 4 inches in size and is in very good condition with only slight, expected signs of aging including minor creasing.
