"Hi! Ho-o-o! He Done Come. Jumbolor Tell you Fust" (The Galaxy, An Illustrated Magazine of Entertaining Reading, Vol. VII) 1869

This wood engraving, created by Winslow Homer in 1869, depicts a dramatic scene of a young Black man excitedly announcing the arrival of someone to a young white woman standing on a porch. The image is a powerful example of Homer's early work, which often explored themes of social class and racial relations in the American South. The engraving, originally published in *The Galaxy* magazine, provides a glimpse into the societal dynamics of the era through the expressive figures and dynamic composition.
