Composite Views of a Georgia Ferry and a Chain Gang
Two views, one of a ferry and the other of a chain gang. The ferry operator poses with a man in his carriage on the ferry, with trees in the background. The chain gang, with mostly African American prisoners, and the supervisor with a gun, poses for the camera. Behind the men are two wooden structures and a large stone structure. A scrolled decorative border runs around the images. Captions read: "A Chain Gang" and "A Georgia Ferry." |
