African-American Gentleman with an Automobile

S. l. s. n. 1932. Photograph, n. d. (ca 1932); 3 1/4 x 5; black-and-white image; tiny creases to corners and mild yellowing to margins; in very good condition. An unusual photograph of a young African-American man, in a rural setting (a water tower and low houses in the distance), dressed in a natty suit, with one leg propped on the running board of what appears to be a 1932 Plymouth Roadster, with a cigar jutting out of his mouth. Very good .

Portraying African-Americans playing various musical instruments, dancing, and singing, as well as boxing, playing racketball, etc. the paper dolls were decidedly racist - depicting exaggerated mouths, bugged-out eyes, strange postures, and so on.

Tramp Art, "Return from the Honeymoon Tour

S. l. (Chicago [?]), s. n. 1881. Albumen print on a card mount, behind glass in a tramp art frame, n. d. (print ca 1881, frame ca 1900); image approx. 4 1/4 x 6, frame 6 3/4 x 8; print with a crease to upper left corner, light age-toning, and a few small spots (not examined outside of the frame); frame recto gilded, with minor flaking of paint and light dust-dulling; overall in very good condition. Originally created for Harper's Weekly by Sol Eytinge in 1878, the scene was one in a racist series of African-American caricatures, which revolved around the courtship and marriage of two women - "The Twins." Shown strolling down the street, hand in hand with their new husbands, the features and gestures of the four were greatly exaggerated, mocking their attempts at copying white society's refined manners. Around them were children, friends, and family - staring and pointing - and an older woman, leaning on a tree, almost doubled over in laughter at the spectacle. Very good .

Reuniting former Black Panther Party members and other community activists, the organization would adopt "intercommunalism" as their ideology and would draw direct inspiration from the Black Panthers of the 1960s.
