Picture taken in late 1800s
Other information

The man in the photo died, as far as can be established, in the 1910s or 1920s. The picture is from the archive of the family whose ancestors had enslaved the two subjects--one could argue that the photo was stolen as much as the subjects in it were. See documentation in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redoshi .
