    A free man [graphic], 1868

    Visual Materials

    A watercolor and graphite drawing depicting a formerly enslaved Black family with their animals outside their home. Illustration is centered by a Black man in the foreground chopping a log of wood to add to a pile of logs and kerosene. To his right is a small dog, and presumably his two children, a young Black girl dressed in red, and a Black boy in yellow holding a red bucket. The left side of the illustration is partially torn but depicts a horse in a fenced enclosure looking towards the family. The background includes a cabin with a smoking chimney in front of a hilly enclosure. The drawing's paper is fragile and deteriorating on all edges; a signature and date by the artist is partially visible on the lower right corner, reading, "Caleb Brown, 1868." Titled, "A Free MAN" towards the lower center of the drawing. Verso of drawing includes a partial portrait of a woman titled "Eliza," lithographed by James Baillie.
