This exhibit of photographs were donated to the Library District’s permanent collection for an exhibition at West Las Vegas Library in 1990.
H.C. White Co. and Underwood & Underwood originally published these photos as stereographs, which were an early form of three-dimensional photograph popular in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The images on view represent Black life in the American South from 1900 to 1903, after the Civil War and Reconstruction, in the beginning decades of Jim Crow segregation laws.
