Thomas Nast's Original "Southern Exiles" Print

The image shows a scared family, looking at an approaching storm.  Lightning can be seen in the background, and the  storm appears to be worsening as darkness approaches.  A man can be seen comforting his wife, and an older woman can be seen on her knees crying.  In the background, a black family appears to be caring for a sick person.  Further in the background, more Black people can be seen watching the approaching storm.
