Racist campaign poster

A Pennsylvania political campaign poster for a white supremacy platform, 1866.

Restored version with hole patched and some dirt and fibers removed.

A historic campaign poster shortly following the American Civil War in the northern border state of Pennsylvania. It serves an encyclopedic purpose to show that this kind of thing existed and that it was this blatant. Appears at Racism by country#Post-slavery racism and Disfranchisement after the Civil War.

• Comment An important historical document. Pity about the huge hole in the middle of the image. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:36, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Think it stands a chance if I patch that hole convincingly? Durova^Charge! 03:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
