Looks like a photograph to me. If it is a painted portrait, then it is quite amazing.
I suspect that the photo we see is not of the actual black slave owner that has become a topic of this discusion.
It is a photo of Lewis Hayden

I'm sure lots of people care. When it come to history, if there is a picture of the historical figure it's kind of nice if it is an actually picture of the person. Otherwise, leave the picture off. That being said, I'm sure that no one on this thread is responsible for that photo shop work with the captions, it just something being spread around.
Instead of rediculing me for pointing the descripancy, how about a thank you.....and then move on.
