Additional Details

A grisly memento of a lynching. The victims stands before a large crowd in an obviously rural setting. A man in front of him is adjusting the noose, the rope thrown over the bow of a tree while the crowd presses in upon them. Several people to the right appear to be standing on a wagon.
