This oversized cabinet card is part of a series of stereotyped/ racist images that were produced by Russell Brothers of Anniston Alabama, in the 1890s.
This particular image shows a man in rag cloths, who has size 17 feet and therefore wears rags on his feet as "shoes".
These early Black Americana images are highly collectible.

Thanks for sharing such a poignant picture. It shows it all from the poor mans cotton 'shoes' to the 'palace' in the background. Its a wonderful photo.
Two, three planes, but...What is the first?
...its the real love, its the man`s shoes, are his hands and the power of his soul that any clothes cant destroy.
Its a great photo, thanks so much for your post scott!
