Description
Racist trade card specimen depicting a caricature of an African American man kissing a caricature of an African American woman on a bench in front of a house while people look on. Shows the African American man, attired in a hat, a white collared shirt, a waistcoat, a black jacket, plaid pants, and shoes, sitting on a bench. He carries a stick in his left hand and wraps his right arm around the African American woman’s neck and kisses her cheek. The woman, attired in a long-sleeved dress and apron, sits next to the man on the bench. She holds a flower in her hand on her lap and smiles. In the house behind the bench, a man, a woman, and a boy look down and smile at the couple from the second story window. In the left, a boy, attired in a hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and pants with a suspender, sits on the wooden fence with his back turned to the viewer. In the foreground is a dog scratching its ear.
