The image is a sepia-toned photograph of a young boy, likely a slave, holding a large American flag. The boy is seated on a pile of fabric, with his right hand grasping the flag's pole and his left hand resting on his knee. He wears a dark-colored jacket and pants, with his feet clad in boots. At the bottom of the image, a caption reads "FREEDOM'S BANNER" in small letters, followed by "CHARLEY, A Slave Boy from New Orleans." The background of the image is a plain wall, with a subtle shadow cast by the boy's head and shoulders. The overall atmosphere of the image is somber and reflective, with the boy's serious expression and the flag's presence evoking a sense of patriotism and freedom. The image appears to be a historical photograph, possibly taken during the mid-19th century, and serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and often fraught history of slavery in the United States.
