This cabinet card image dates from the 1880s to 1890s and shows an African American occupational.
The man is standing in a doorway and is holding a whip by his side.
There is no photographers information on the mount, but the image is most likely American.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks again packrat.

If he is holding a whip he may have been a cracker. He is outfitted somewhat better than most were during that era. The outfit and the whip would say boss man.
I'd call it a buggy whip and it is pretty typical of what I have seen in other images of the era showing a horse pulled buggy.
