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.

Description
Vintage photo circa 1906 of African American explorer Matthew Henson (1866 - 1955) - long-serving assistant to US polar explorer Robert Edwin Peary (1856 - 1920). Henson accompanied Peary on a string of Arctic expeditions over two decades and was among the party which Peary claimed was the first to reach the geographic North Pole in April 1909. Peary was subsequently recognised with various awards and honours after the claim to have been the first to reach the Pole was accepted but racial attitudes at the time meant Henson was largely ignored. He spent much of the remainder of his life working as a customs clerk in New York and only in his later years was the importance of his role in the polar quest recognised. The Peary expedition's claim to have reached the pole has come under doubt in recent times amid evidence that they may actually have fallen some miles short of reaching the geographic pole.

Late nineteenth century (circa 1889) lithograph poster advertising Bock Beer. The poster, by R H Eichner & Co, features a waitress with a tray of beer mugs letting out an exclamation as a billygoat upsets an African American waiter and his tray of drinks.

Many Bock beer adverts feature goats because Bock is also the German name for a billygoat.

About 48,000 houses in the Victorian and Edwardian styles were built in San Francisco between 1849 and 1915 with the change from Victorian to Edwardian occurring on the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, and many were painted in bright colors. One of the best known groups of "Painted Ladies" is the row of Victorian houses on Steiner Street bordering Alamo Square park in San Francisco. This block appears very frequently in media photographs of the city.
