Frederick Douglass, but I have to admit I has seen that fact before, I didn't guess.

I know it was Frederick Douglass also, but if I didn.t I would have thought Lincoln, or John Wilkes Booth.

Professor Kathryn told me in another class that it was Frederick Douglass, which I find surprising considering (in my opinion) the cultural norms at the time.

I would also probably say Lincoln knowing how prominent he was during this time

Fredrick Douglas. Which is surprising since he was a Black man during a very unfriendly time to Black people.

I saw it on a fun fact but it's Frederick Douglas, otherwise I wouldn't really have a guess.

I believe Frederick Douglass was the most photographed american in the 19th century. He used photography to create images of black men, that whites could not laugh at by seeing blacks hurt, or deceased.

fredrick douglus was definitely the most photographed being that he was the epitome of the black movement. He wanted to showcase to the world that black people are here and will always be here as humans.

Douglas

I would think it would probably be someone famous or often spoken of so perhaps a president?

Maybe Lincoln.

I would think it would be Lincoln or someone in politics

Frederick Douglas for individual. IF we are looking at Americans I would say military soldiers

The most photographed American of the 19th century was Frederick Douglass, with over 160 known portraits taken between 1841 and his death in 1895.
