The collection is a photographic print, circa 1870s, mounted on card stock. It depicts an African American man on a donkey on a dirt street in front of a building; the man is holding a crutch. On the verso is printed: "William Shelburn, Photographer, Fayetteville Street, Raleigh, N.C." and "Additional copies can be obtained at any time by sending this number," but no number is given. |
