caption: The image shows an old-fashioned daguerreotype of a woman in a black dress and hat, set against a white background in a photo frame. The woman is believed to be a slave, with a stern expression on her face and her hands clasped in front of her. She is wearing a long, dark dress with a high neckline and long sleeves, and her hair is pulled back in a bun. Her eyes are dark and her lips are slightly parted, giving her a mysterious and inquisitive look.
