EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the image of a S.C. huckster, or itinerant peddler, making his way through the rural countryside of South Carolina between 1900 and 1910. The huckster, an African American man, is shown standing next to his ox-drawn cart, which is piled high with various goods for sale. The cart, which appears to be made of wood and adorned with intricate designs, is pulled by two strong oxen. The man, dressed in simple work clothes and a wide-brimmed hat, looks directly at the camera with a confident and determined expression. The scene takes place on a dusty country road, surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. The huckster's cart, which is likely filled with household items, foodstuffs, and other essentials, would have been a familiar sight in the rural South during this time period. The man's role as a huckster would have provided him with employment and allowed him to earn a living by selling goods to communities that were often isolated and lacked access to larger markets. This glass plate negative, which measures 8 x 10 inches, was taken by an unknown photographer and is part of the Edwin H. Husher Collection at the Library of Congress. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and economic realities of African Americans in the rural South during the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a time and place that is often underrepresented in the annals of American history.
