Description
Racist trade card depicting an African American man attired in rumpled, ragged clothes, likely a caricature of a tramp. The tramp-like figure is attired in a white cap, an orange scarf wrapped around his head and tied at his neck; a brown coat with the elbow torn open; oversized beige pants; and gray shoes. He looks to the left with his eyes as he stretches his hand down into his coat pocket. Eli P. Buckley (1831-1899) worked as a stationer at 3950 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA as early as 1858. He operated his stationery store at the address until his death when his children continued to run the business as late as 1910.
