Louisiana Outrage White League Racists Gov Kellogg 1874 Harpers Weekly Newspaper

Description

A street barricade, guarded by White Leaguers. The Louisiana Outrages.
(Louisiana Outrages, White League, racist, white
supremacist, New Orleans, Governor William Pitt Kellogg,  John McEnery,
Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization,
antique newspaper
)
Issued 1874, New York, by Harper & Brothers.
Original 19th century antique offset printed image. An actual printed leaf taken from this scarce old periodical, published at the date listed.
This troubling font page array shows members of the paramilitary, white supremacist the White League barricading a New Orleans street. Portraits include: Governor William Pitt Kellogg whom the White League attempted to oust by force over the disputed election against John McEnery, also pictured, General Longstreet, D. B. Penn, and General Badger. A dark but important part of American history.
A nice looking example of printed, ephemeral history with a pleasing age patina. There is some wrinkling outside of any image along the left margin and a gentle crease across the center. The latter would be invisible and the former unnoticeable if mounted and framed. Text, images, and/or advertisements on reverse as issued. An elusive image, worthy of display. Provided photos show the front and back of the item, not two discrete prints
Mounted and framed, this piece would make an excellent decoration for your home, restaurant, office, classroom, or any other space where people appreciate the vintage aesthetic of antique printed history.
Measures 16"H x 11"W
