Congratulations on your restraint, my friend and the other Idren on this nonsense thread.

Here is what I have come up with...Blessings

"Ending Debt Slavery" by Bob Edgar

"Actual photographs of slaves and slave life are very rare. This makes sense..plantation owners and slave drivers certainly did not want to advertise and document their "dark" trade".

"Slaves in Chains"

"Photographs of Slavery"

Agassiz Zealy slave portraits from 1850 which are daguerreotypes.

These portraits I am quite familiar with actually.

Now to the history of PRINTING and PHOTOGRAPHY.

From the invention of the printing press in the 1400,s until the 20th century AND THE DIGITAL process the major innovation in printing came in 1852 when William Fox Talbot patented some of his pioneering work for a prototype of PHOTOENGRAVING.

John C. Rose (1838-1892) invented the first photoengraving process in 1863. It lead to a revolution in printing and eventually to the mass marketing of newspapers, magazines, and books which combined PHOTOGRAPHS with traditional text.

If anyone is interested in this any further just GOOGLE Wikipedia PhotoEngraving HISTORY.

When Apple Macintosh developed their computer technology and the digital PIXEL which replaced then the a fore used HALFTONE and the process camera they paved the way to a commercial printing wonderland of colour and accessibility for all.

Now our newspapers which were always in black and white (remember those days) are awash with colour.

I have worked in commercial printing and was a dab hand at the ole process camera and witnessed the beginning of the computer via Apple. My great love is copperplate etching, a process once the high point of printing technology but is now confined to art printing.

I hope and pray these images even though few do not cause anyone any distress.
Much love and Blessings.

Your Sista Judah
