In the late-1800s to early-1900s South, photographs were taken at lynchings to print. These were used in postcards and newspapers. These images usually showed an African-American lynching victim and all or part of the crowd that attended. Women and children often attended lynchings. The people who killed the victim were not identified. At one particular lynching, nearly 15,000 people were in the crowd. Often lynchings were advertised in newspapers prior to the event so photographers could attend. After the lynching, photographers would sell their pictures as-is or as postcards, sometimes costing as much as fifty cents a piece, or $9, as of 2016.
