This historic black and white cross-hatch engraving depicts a robed, hooded Ku Klux Klan vigilante mounted on horseback, holding a pistol on a dirt rural path after dark. The eerie, unsettling scene includes weathered wooden farm cabins, sparse pine trees, and a bright full moon casting long, stark shadows, in the classic illustrative style of 1800s editorial art documenting post-Reconstruction American South history. This archival illustration is a primary historical document of 19th century white supremacist domestic terror.
