Description
Carte-de-visite (CDV) of an older African-American man taken in Bedford, PA. Though unidentified, the subject's patched pants, tattered shoes, and hard stare hint at a compelling story.
During the Civil War, Bedford was a hub of the Underground Railroad, as the city was only 25 miles north of Maryland, a slave state. Reverse bears the imprint of photographer "T.R. Gettys."
