Notes |
A caricature showing an African-American woman shopping while dressed in the very latest of high fashions; her similarly-attired friend waits in the doorway for her to finish her purchase. As caricaturists often did, the size of the woman's hat is exaggerated, and the skirts are shown a little shorter than they would have been in real life (see Image:Waist-and-Extravagance-ca-1830-fashion-satire-Heath.jpg for another typical example of these standard caricaturists' tricks from the same period). Much of the humor which white Americans of 1829 would have perceived in this caricature would have arisen from the racist preconceptions which they held. Many white Americans would have found the very idea of a "black bourgeoisie" (as it was later called), or Black attempts to imitate White high-society, to be inherently ridiculous. |
