DescriptionCommonStSlaveAuction.jpg | New Orleans: "Slave Market, Common Street". 1850s view of building at 156 Common Street (old numbering system), with sign "Slaves For Sale". In the doorway can be seen figures which presumably are slaves being auctioned wearing suits and top-hats; in contrast to the practices of slave markets of earlier generations, by the 1850s it was considered "proper" practice for slaves to be dressed up during sales. | |||||
