| 61. |  | Southworth & Hawes 1845 The Branded Hand of Captain Jonathan Walker Daguerreotype, 1/6 plate Massachusetts Historical Society © Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, MA, USA / The Bridgeman Art Library Nationality / copyright status: American / out of copyright The inscription on the back of the case reads: "This Daguerreotype was taken by Southworth Aug. 1845 it is a copy of Captain Jonathan Walker's hand as branded by the U.S. Marshall of the Dist. of Florida for having helped 7 men to obtain 'Life Liberty, and Happiness.' SS Slave Saviour Northern Dist. SS Slave Stealer Southern Dist." The Daguerreian Society provides the following information: The lateral reversing typical of a daguerreian image is corrected in a wood-engraving that appeared on the title page of "Trial and Imprisonment of Jonathan Walker, At Pensacola, Florida, for Aiding Slaves To Escape From Bondage, with an Appendix, containing a sketch of his life" (Boston: Published At The Anti-Slavery Office, 25 Cornhill. 1845.) A variant wood-engraving also appears with an extensive poem entitled "The Branded Hand" in the 16 September, 1845, "Salem Gazette" (Salem, Massachusetts.) The article mentions that the engraving was "copied from a Daguerreotype picture belonging to Dr. Bowditch." |
| 62. |  | Unknown artist 1840s-1850s [Button with hands] Button 1.6 cm (5/8 ins) (diameter) Metropolitan Museum of Art Gilman Collection, Purchase, Joyce F. Menschel Gift, 2005, Accession Number: 2005.100.78 Comments from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Accessed: 13 April 2017) This miniature daguerreotype shows two hands resting on a book. The photograph is set into a two-piece gold-washed brass frame with a loop on the reverse for sewing to a garment. The case design with its simple, raised ornamental border is typical of the gilt-metal buttons mass-produced from 1830 to 1850 in several New England factories such as the Scovill Manufacturing Company in Waterbury, Connecticut, which also manufactured daguerreotype plates. The button was discovered in the early 1980s in a flea market in Massachusetts. The use of buttons for political purposes in the United States began in the 1700s with buttons that proclaimed "Independence," as the goal of the oppressed colonists, and "Long Live the President," in honor of the inauguration of George Washington. But it was not until the 1828 presidential campaign of Andrew Jackson, just twenty years before the likely date of this photograph, that the button became a regular part of American elections. From "Jackson--True Standard" to "I Like Ike," the political button, both with and without pictures, developed into a characteristically American means of both political advertising and personal expression. For many years, the image was believed to represent an anti-slavery motif of two handsone black, one whiteresting on a Bible. Today, after detailed digital imaging, the photograph seems to show the hands of just one individual. The symbolic meaning of this unique button is thus open for reinterpretation. |

Louis's fist defined who he was more than anything else, so Avedon boldly recorded his signature feature. The fist became a political symbol of black solidarity and suggests the boxer's dual fight within the ring and against racism.
