Additional Details

One of a few known photographs of a slave market, bearing the large sign "Auction & Negro Sales." It was operated by Crawford, Frazer & Co. at 8 Whitehall Street, on what is now Peachtree Street where the Five Points station now stands. It was one of a series of photographs done by an official Union Army photographer under General Sherman in occupied Atlanta. The man seated with a rifle in front of the store appears to be a union soldier, and might well have been with the United States Colored Troops.
