Jefferson's return to Monticello is the subject here, shown as a welcome from the people he enslaved on the estate. The record names no artist or publication, and the date range points to a print made in the first half of the twentieth century, when sentimental images of plantation life were common in popular illustration. The title's wording, including the outdated term it uses for the enslaved workers, reflects that era's romanticized view rather than the documented lives of the people who labored at Monticello. Viewers should read the image as evidence of how Jefferson was remembered, not as a record of an actual event.
