Hand-colored photograph showing the last group of slaves sold at public auction in the Cheapside section of Lexington, Kentucky, c. 1861. The auction looks as though it is possibly in progress. The figures whose faces are colored brown look like they might be the slaves who are for sale and the crowd in front of them (nearer to the photographer) are interested buyers.
