Portrait of Frederick Douglass

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Portrait of Frederick Douglass, United States Minister Resident to Haiti, and famed author of the autobiography "A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave".

This image has been digitally retouched from the freely available wiki file: "Frederick_Douglass_MET_DT1144.jpg".

The original daguerreotype is part of the The Rubel Collection, Gift of William Rubel, 2001 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, the daguerreotype was badly scratched, and these scratches were duplicated due to a refraction effect in the glass frame.

The original image, (supplied by the Metropolitan Museum of Art), was made available under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication. This retouched version is made available under the same license.

As well as retouching the face, hair and clothes, I have removed the gold/blue frame and extended the background.

The file has been uploaded as a PNG because it is a "lossless" format. The dimensions are: 1529 x 2012 Pixels.
