Photo
He and other 1872 Alabama Senators were photographed on the capitol steps. The photograph held by the Alabama Department of Archives and History. It would be a great addition here and elsewhere. Here's a video about the photo from the Archives Dept.FloridaArmy (talk) 13:44, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * this one but it's just a low-res version on the website (764px × 571px). Looks like you have to fill out a form and pay for hi-res version shown in the video. Also they have a contradictory user agreement that both both claims they own the rights to say "Images may not be posted on websites at resolutions higher than 72 dpi" followed by them claiming they dont "The ADAH does not claim to control all rights of reproduction for all materials in its collections". Pity all this data exists but is being held in private. They have an email address to on the user agreement form to clarify which claim is true, but someone would still have to pay $10/image.

 * Great find User:KylieTastic! The low quality is a problem but the good news is they posted cropped images for the five African American state senators link here. I don't beleive these photo have been uploaded to Wikipedia yet and several of our entries on them don't yet have photos at all. For an 1872 photo of government officials held by the state I would think they would be in the public domain? It think the group shots would also be useful. Maybe it will spur them to make available higher resolution versions? FloridaArmy (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * UPDATE User:KylieTastic I found the groups shots. One was uploaded last year. The cropped photos do not appear tonhave been added on Commons yet. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:26, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
