Description
Lithograph poster circa 1900 by Strobridge Lithograph Company advertising William H West's Big Minstrel Jubilee show. Minstrel shows consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing and music which were often performed by white people in blackface. They lampooned black Americans and tended to portray them as ignorant, lazy, superstitious and buffoonish – perpetuating the racist stereotype of the uneducated, always cheerful and highly musical black person. Minstrel shows grew up in the 1830s with white working class men dressing up as plantation slaves and survived as professional entertainment until the early years of the twentieth century. In their heyday the shows were famous and respectable but they are now regarded by many as a racist and shameful era in American popular entertainment.

Digital photography Colour color management. Correctly profiled monitor and printer allows you to print WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) Show difference in two black and white prints from a profiled printer and non profiled printer. Black and white requires critical colour management to obtain neutral results, or predictable results if you wish to produce toned prints. The prints were on to a canvas treated paper. ; In the background re colour patches. A spectrophotometer measures each patch and the software compares the colour produced with the colour it should be on the original, then produces an ICC profile so that the printer will produce colours that match the original on screen as much as possible.
1830s print: The Gatherer - a snapper up of unconsidered trifles. A beggar offering his hat for the collection of "scraps". Prints are stuffed in his back pack and bag - a clue to the intended use of this print as a scrap album title-page.
