Interesting. You may be right, but you may be underestimating the capabilities of students.-Melinda Skinner

Subject: [VA-HIST] source of a cartoon?
In writing a piece on slavery at W&M, I refer to a cartoon that appears in a student humor publication here, The Owl, from 1854.
But it seems too sophisticated for the students to have produced, and I’m wondering if it doesn’t have a source someplace else. Google images doesn’t offer any leads. The url for the cartoon, “The Horrors of Slavery in Black and White,” is below.
Even if no one can name the source, can anyone comment on how such a cartoon might, if I am right, have been made available to the editors. Could it have been some kind of stock image almost any (Southern) printer might have had on hand?
