Connecticut Historical Society says: Portrait detail of Frederick Douglass. Photograph by Stephen H. Waite, 1864. Taken in Hartford during an 1864 lecture tour.
Stauffer, Trodd & Bernier, Picturing Frederick Douglass says: Douglass delivered a speech in Hartford’s Allyn Hall on April 16, 1864, title “The National Crisis.” He probably sat for this photograph the previous day because by the morning of April 16, the Hartford Daily Courant listed a Douglass carte-de-visite by Stephen Waite for sale and on display in the window of a local shop.
