Racist satiric print comprised of a watercolor drawing and a photograph showing a white man in civilian clothes feeding an African American doll. The man, attired in a white shirt, a black bowtie, a gray vest, gray pants, and black shoes, sits on a wooden chair and holds a spoon to the doll, costumed in a white layette gown. A bowl labeled "Bounty" is set upon a wooden chair in the left. A photograph cut-out of a head, presumably of a white commander of an African American regiment, rests on the drawn body of the man.
Originally part of a McAllister Civil War scrapbook of humorous views and photographs. McAllister Collection, gift, 1886.
