[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Outdoor image of Old Slave Market in St. Augustine, FL.

4 5/8 x 3 7/8 in. silver gelatin photograph on cardstock mount (good tonality, light mount soiling). Near-contemporary ink inscription to verso reads "Old Slave Market" with later pencil inscription below reading "St. Augustine, Fla."

The waterfront pavilion was constructed in the early 19th century initially as a market for mundane commercial goods. City records and newspaper reports, however, confirm that it served as the open-air market where enslaved Africans were bought and sold.

Collection of Tom Charles Huston
