A small float with a crowned woman under a canopy also follows. On either side of the picture are two columns, Education and Science, on top of which rest ballot boxes wreathed in oak leaves. The columns are connected by arches with the legend The Right of Citizens of the United States to Vote Shall Not Be Denied or Abridged by the United States or Any State on Account of Race Color or Condition of Servitude. At left, beside the Education column, is a classroom scene where a black man teaches two black children geography. Below this scene is a bust portrait of Frederick Douglass. At right, near the Science column, are two black men at work. One, a stonemason, carves a large column. The other, a smith, stands at his anvil. Below this scene is a bust portrait of Mississipi senator Hiram R. Revels. The upper register of the print features portraits of white benefactors.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print commemorates the enactment of the Fifteenth Amendment in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1870. The Amendment, which prohibits the federal and state governments from denying the right to vote based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude, is celebrated here with a grand procession of black men on horseback, dressed in top hats, sashes, and badges. They lead the way for black soldiers carrying American flags and banners bearing the images of an Indian brave, a black military officer, and Liberty. The procession is flanked by two columns, Education and Science, symbolizing the importance of these pursuits in the newly enfranchised community. At the base of the Education column, a black man teaches two children geography, while at the Science column, a stonemason and a smith are at work. The upper register of the print features portraits of white benefactors, including President Ulysses S. Grant, Vice President Schuyler Colfax, abolitionist martyr John Brown, and Baltimore jurist Hugh Lenox Bond. The central oval portrait is of Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by symbols of American patriotism and flanked by figures representing History or Learning and Columbia or Liberty. This print is one of several large commemorative pieces created to mark the momentous occasion of the Fifteenth Amendment's passage, a turning point in American history that paved the way for greater civil and political rights for African Americans. The image of black men leading the way in the procession, alongside white supporters, symbolizes the unity and determination of the newly enfranchised community in exercising their newfound right to vote and participate in the democratic process.
