Dred Scott, plaintiff in the infamous en:Dred Scott v. Sanford case at the Supreme Court of the United States

Painted by Louis Schultze, commissioned by a "group of Negro citizens" and presented to the Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis, in 1882.

See [1]. This is not a contemporary painting. This was done decades after his death.
Presumably based on 1857 photo seen here. If a clean good copy can be found, it should be uploaded under PD-US. -- Infrogmation 15:23, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
