"De Lan' O' Cotton."

Front: "De Lan' O' Cotton."

This postcard features a stereotypical depiction of a Black man picking cotton. Postcards that depicted Black people this way were produced as nostalgic items for the consumption of White people. Postcards like this one were generic and printed for many different towns and cities across the Southern U.S., including Huntsville.
