Description
Hand-Colored Print of Former Slave and Confederate Cook Joe Warren. Joe Warren, the slave of Colonel William E. Travis who followed him to war is the subject of this moving hand-tinted 8" x 10" photograph. Taken late in his life, this image shows Warren with his head bowed and resting on his cane. His eyeglasses resting atop his head have been tinted gold, the kerchief around his neck red. The amazing detail of the old man's skin and hair, even the tattered strings from the cuffs of his coat all lend an air of desperation to this print of man who in his earlier life was present with his master during the Civil War.Joe Warren, written about by former Confederate Lieutenant Edwin H. Rennolds in his book A History of the Henry County Commands Which Served In The Confederate Army, Including the Rosters of the Various Companies Enlisted in Henry County, Tennessee, With Portraits, not only went to war with his master as a cook, he attended the Confederate reunions years after the war as evidenced by a photograph of him along with other Confederate veterans at the Henry County Courthouse in the early 1900s. With a copyright 'c-in-circle' mark at the lower left, the image bears the initials "FDR", possibly a mark of the artist who hand-tinted the picture. This is an amazing image of a former slave who witnessed the Civil War from the side of the Confederacy.
