I share your doubts as to the 'photograph' . . .

>>>
The first photographic process — heliography — was invented around 1824 by Nicéphore Niépce. Images were obtained with bitumen of Judea spread on a silver plate after an exposure time of several days. In 1829, Niépce associated Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre to his research.
>>>

1824 is long after 1654.

However, this site has an article regarding the suit.

>>>

On March 8, 1655, the Northampton County Court ruled in favor of Anthony Johnson, a free man of African descent, when he was accused of keeping an indentured servant as a slave.

I *know* that there's some truth to this meme, but I'm not sure how much. I struggle with the part that says we have a photograph of a 1654 slave owner. Somehow, that just doesn't ring true...
