This carte de visite of William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) was created by William Mumler, who was known as the "spirit photographer." The ghostly image of Charles Sumner hovers above and behind holding broken shackles. The back of the card reads "Specialty / By / Mumler / 170 West Springfield St. / BOSTON, MASS."
