The title on this stereograph names a specific place: the cabins at the Hermitage, a plantation on the Savannah River outside the city, where the caption says enslaved people were "raised for market." Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm that published stereo cards in large numbers, issued this view around 1903, when such cards were a popular parlor entertainment. The caption reflects how the firm framed Southern sites for a national audience, so it is worth reading the words as a period perspective rather than a neutral account. The surviving cabins themselves are the real evidence here, showing where enslaved people lived and worked decades after emancipation.
