Delia´s Tears - Race, Science and Photography in Nineteenth-Century America
Molly Rogers
In 1850, seven South Carolina slaves were photographed at the request of the famous naturalist Louis Agassiz to provide evidence of the supposed biological inferiority of Africans. This title tells the story of these photographs, the people they depict, and the men who made and used them. It explores the invention and uses of photography.
