    A sepia-toned photograph of a pencil or ink sketch depicting a man in left-facing profile view. The subject is identified by a handwritten inscription at the bottom as 'John Sanders.' The drawing style is consistent with late 18th or early 19th century portraiture conventions.

    John Sanders, from a crayon portrait in the collection of Colonel R.T. Durrett of Louisville, Kentucky. George Rogers Clark’s men caught Sanders who was hunting ducks near Vincennes, Indiana. They took him prisoner, interrogated him for information, and sent him into town with a note for the residents.
