This image appeared in Edward King's The Great South, published in 1875. King's tour of the U.S. South took place in the early 1870s, after the end of slavery, but this image illustrates a sugar cane harvest that would have relied on the labor of enslaved individuals prior to the Emancipation Proclamation.
