This stereo card was produced by the Keystone View Company of Underwood and dates from 1909. The image shows a group of black workers picking cotton while a mounted overseer watches in the background. The caption on the image is “9506- PICKING COTTON ON A MISSISSIPPI PLANTATION.”

The clarity and contrast of both halves of the stereo are excellent. Reverse has a blurb about the process of picking cotton.

This image would work in a display on the causes of the Civil War as nothing in the image shows that it was taken in 1909 instead of pre-1865.
