This is a historical photograph from the Civil War era titled "Learning is Wealth," featuring four individuals from New Orleans who were formerly enslaved. The image shows them engaged in reading, with books in their hands. The composition includes an adult and three children in period clothing - the girls wearing dresses and the boy in a dark jacket. They are arranged in a thoughtful pose, with some seated and others reclining, all focused on their books. The photograph appears to be a carte de visite, a popular photography format of the 1860s, and has a caption at the bottom identifying them as "Slaves from New Orleans." This image powerfully illustrates the value placed on education by formerly enslaved people and serves as an important historical document of the period.
