This stereo card was produced by the company of Underwood and Underwood and dates from 1895. The image shows a group of black workers picking cotton while a mounted overseer watches in the background. The caption on the image is “COTTON IS KING, PLANTATION SCENE, GEORGIA, USA.”

The clarity and contrast of both halves of the stereo are excellent. Reverse has a blurb on how much cotton the US produces in a year and how important it is.

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 1895 instead of pre-1865.
