Racist trade card specimen depicting a scene of barefooted, African American men knocked about from a kicking mule in the
middle of a field. In the center, a mule equipped with a saddle and reins, kicks its back feet into the air, above a wooden
board lying on the ground. In the right, a man attired in a red shirt and white and blue checked pants, tumbles onto his back
and with his legs in the air. Near him a man attired in yellow pants with red polka dots and an orange, checked shirt, runs
away. In the left, a man attired in yellow pants and an orange shirt falls to the ground, head first and upside down. In the
lower left, the lower leg and bare foot of a person attired in red checked pants and running away is visible. In the background,
a man with a hat and checked red shirt stands with both arms up in the air in alarm. Two figures gathering crops are also
visible in the distance.
