CDV of folk art painting of African American man pencil identified on mount below image as "Wm. Seymore DD," with additional penciled note on verso, "Rev. William Seymore, Colored." Imprint of A. Peck, Photographer, Newburgh NY on verso. Although there was an African American minister by the name of William J.
