Visual Materials
A mounted photograph of six young white men seated (one standing) around a cadaver in an advanced state of decay, laying on a wooden table. The deceased is identified as a Black man named David Buckner. The men are wearing hats, ties, and possibly laboratory coats, and one man is holding a knife in his hand and a protective apron over his clothes. Handwriting in ink on the back reads: "... a negro having 26 ribs. Name David Buckner. Can be found in Museum at the No.West. Univ. School of Pharmacy. 1894." A list of the men's names and hometowns are also written on the back, and, in later handwriting, some details of drugstores they went on to operate between 1899 and 1933. Photographer's credit is stamped on back: New York Gallery, 2249 Cottage Grove Ave., Chicago.
