Possibly the most well-known portrait of Douglass. His expression just personifies dignity and passion.
Proposed caption
Frederick Douglass (1818-1895, pictured here in about 1879) was born a slave in
Maryland but became a prominent 19th century
abolitionist, author and public speaker.
Photograph (c. 1879) by George K. Warren (d. 1884). National Archives: NARA FILE #: 200-FL-22

Support Although the scratch in his hair and beard, and the white spot on his tie, could do with being removed. I'm happy with the focus being only on a narrow pane on his face, although others might have a problem with that, I hope the historicity of the image, and how pretty it looks, will convince those who might be skeptical.

Support Grainy, but not bad for the period, and a picture full of character.
