Included in this lot is an antique Photograph of a US Marshal standing with a group of men in a park setting. The photographer's stamp on the reverse side says, "F. H. Spencer, Photographer Omaha, Nebraska". Clothing worn dates the photograph to the time period of the late 1890s to the 1910s. Omaha has been a major industrial city on the edge of what was a rural, agricultural state. It has attracted a more diverse population than the rest of the state. Its issues were common to other major industrial cities of the early 20th century, as it was a destination for 19th and 20th century European immigrants, and internal white and black migrants from the South in the Great Migration. Early 20th century conflicts in Omaha arose out of labor struggles, postwar social tensions and economic problems, and hiring of later immigrants and black migrants as strikebreakers in the meatpacking and stockyard industries. A number of protests and riots ocurred from 1905 into the 1920s, including the infamous race riot of 1919 which followed that summer's national riots, known as the Red Summer. This photograph appears to be one in which the US Marshal is meeting with potential deputies or possibly attempting to dissuade the formation of vigilantism. This photograph is mounted on a thick card stock board, torn section is noted on the middle right, age tanning and foxing exhibited, the card stock board is intact with creasing noted at the corners, soiling and staining also noted.
