Slave ads in this antebellum Louisiana newspaper...
THE DAILY DELTA, New Orleans, Nov. 24, 1850 Newspapers from the pre-Civil War South are rather difficult to find. Here is one from Louisiana.
Among the back page ads is one headed: "Slaves! Slaves! Slaves!" which notes in part: "The subscribers are prepared to receive, on consignment, for sale in this market, any number of slaves, having one of the best showrooms in the city, & large & comfortable quarters where every attention will be paid to their comfort. Merchants, planters, and families having slaves to dispose of will find it to their interest to place them in our charge..." with a bit more.
Also on the back page are other slave-related, illustrated ads headed: "Negroes! Negroes!" "Twenty-Five Dollars Reward" and: Negro Clothing", each with details.
Four pages, archival strengthening at the irregular spine, good condition.
